The Hudson Music Festival (HMF) is celebrating a major milestone this summer as it marks its 20th anniversary with four days of live music and community from July 30 to August 2, 2026. For two decades, the festival has brought exceptional Canadian and international talent to Hudson while championing emerging artists and creating memorable musical experiences.
Known as the “Ultimate Intimate Festival,” the Hudson Music Festival has grown from a local celebration into one of Quebec’s most beloved music festivals. The 2026 edition honours that legacy with a diverse lineup that spans folk, rock, roots, Americana, classical, indie and tribute performances.
This years lineup includes acclaimed Canadian artists alongside emerging talent, including:
The festival opens on Thursday, July 30, with a special 20th Anniversary Opening Night Celebration featuring Toronto roots band The Wanted, along with cake and prosecco to mark the occasion.
On Friday, legendary Canadian alternative rock band The Grapes of Wrath headline an evening that also features performances by Shane Hooper and Eva Angel-Fox
Saturday brings the free Village Stage Discovery Series, showcasing emerging artists throughout the afternoon before the evening’s spectacular David Bowie Revisited tribute concert.
The festival concludes on Sunday with multiple performances, including acclaimed singer-songwriter Jordan Officer, a classical concert featuring Serhiy Salov & Thomas Chartré, and additional live music around the village.
