Rock the Harbour is Atlantic Canada’s premier classic rock music festival, returning to Alderney Landing in Downtown Dartmouth, Nova Scotia from August 14–16, 2026.

Now entering its fourth year, Rock the Harbour has become a summer tradition for classic rock fans who want unbeatable music, ocean views, and an incredible weekend on the waterfront.

Each August, thousands gather by the harbour for three days of legendary classic rock, surrounded by sailboats, sunsets, and the best festival atmosphere in the region.
