The Gussapolooza Music and Arts Festival is returning for another joyous gathering celebrating the harmony of music, art, and community.

Set in the picturesque town of Cookstown, the three-day event will make its loud return on Aug., 22-24.

“From live performances to interactive workshops, Gussapolooza is a place where families can connect, explore, and create lasting memories together,” the Gussapolooza team shared on their website.

The jam-packed event offers a unique blend of artistic expression and cultural diversity, showcasing a wide range of genres, from rock and folk to country, electronic, and pop.

As you walk around the event grounds, you can enjoy art installations that invite you to engage and interact - turning the festival grounds into a living gallery.

Artists like Bleeker, Kasadur, Grany Boyer, The Maniac Boys and Girls Club, Feral Minks, Pat James, Rachel Hickey, and many more will make a special appearance.

The festival welcomes people of all ages. Kids under 12 will receive a free wristband with an accompanying adult with a paid event pass.

“From local food vendors to engaging performances, Gussapolooza offers something for everyone, making it a must-attend event for the community,” Gussapolooza stated on its website.
