AUGUST 21st-23rd, 2026
🌻 Welcome to the 21st Anniversary of Harvest Sun!
✨This year, the Harvest Sun Festival isn’t under a big tent, it’s woven into the heart of Kelwood itself.
You’re invited to a one-of-a-kind weekend where the music echoes through historic halls, drifts across the campground under open skies, and rises from the warm heart of prairie community life.
A festival where the town is the stage.
Experience two evenings of unforgettable music at the Kelwood Community Hall, lovingly transformed into a Prairie Portal of sound and spirit. These are dedicated listening concerts, with a reserved area for dancing at the back.
Admission into the Hall is required for all ages - seating is limited and each spot counts.

🧡 The heartbeat of the Harvest Sun is thriving
|
21 years ago, some prairie dreamers set out to create something real...
a place where music, land, and community could thrive together. We are still here... making unforgettable memories. You’re invited to celebrate the legacy ... and continue to write the next chapter. Come for the music. Stay for the people. Leave with a full heart. |
