ReJigged is going back to where it all began — Dartmouth, Nova Scotia — and we couldn’t be more excited to return to our roots for this year’s festival!

Our main concerts will take place in The Sanctuary, a beautiful and historic space at Christ Church, where construction first began in 1817. This stunning venue now features accessible, movable seating, a professional PA and audio-visual system, a grand piano, and a Casavant-designed organ — all set within acoustics that bring every performance to life.

We’ll also be hosting concerts and workshops at Christ Church Hall and the MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning, creating an intimate, walkable festival hub in the heart of Dartmouth.

Through live performances, workshops, and interactive events, ReJigged Festival continues to showcase the rich traditions of Celtic music — blending deep-rooted heritage with bold, contemporary interpretations. It's a space where local and international artists connect and collaborate, and where audiences of all ages can immerse themselves in the energy, artistry, and evolution of Celtic culture.

But it’s not just about the music — our engaging workshops invite you to step into the tradition: learn a few dance steps, try a Celtic instrument, or explore the stories behind the tunes. These hands-on experiences are a chance to deepen your connection to the culture in fun and meaningful ways.

Whether you're a lifelong trad fan or discovering this world for the first time, ReJigged Festival 2025 invites you to experience Celtic music and culture in a fresh and inspiring way — right here on the east coast of Canada.
