Saturday night at ReJigged is going to be something special! 🎻💃✨

We kick things off with É.T.É , bringing their dynamic, modern take on Québécois trad to the ReJigged stage. Élisabeth Moquin, Thierry Clouette, and Élisabeth Giroux blend influences from jazz, progressive rock, and classical music with the Québécois and Acadian traditions - creating a sound all their own.

Joining them is ReJigged veteran Yaëlle Azoulay, an extraordinary dancer from Québec who transforms the rhythms of the gigue into captivating movement.

Then, named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch,” dancer and musician Nic Gareiss returns to ReJigged with a one-man show that brings together music, movement, and storytelling.

Rounding out the concert, we’re thrilled to welcome back JUNO nominees , whose undeniable chemistry and electrifying musicianship are sure to bring Saturday night to life.

And when the concert ends… don’t go anywhere! We’ll clear away the chairs, make room on the dance floor, and keep the night going with a ceilidh! 🎶

Whether you come to listen, watch, dance — or all three — Saturday night is one you won’t want to miss."

⚡ Cassie and Maggie
With more than 17 combined Canadian Folk Music, East Coast Music, and Music Nova Scotia awards and nominations, JUNO-nominated sisters Cassie & Maggie are a powerhouse on the global folk stage. Their magnetic performances seamlessly weave their deep Celtic heritage with contemporary influences — celebrating Nova Scotia’s folk traditions while pushing them in exciting new directions.

🎶 Traverse with Nic Gareiss
Traverse brings together fiddler Laura Risk, ReJigged veteran Nicholas Williams on accordion and flute, and Maritime-based pianist Rachel Aucoin. Their self-titled debut album earned the prestigious OPUS Prize for Album of the Year in Traditional Québécois Music, with a sound shaped by traditional music communities from Montreal and the Gaspé to Ireland and Scotland.

Joining them is another familiar face at ReJigged — beloved dancer and storyteller Nic Gareiss, bringing movement, rhythm, and collaboration into the mix.

Two incredible performances. One Friday night. Join us at ReJigged Festival!

🎻 Thursday night at ReJigged is a celebration of Highland music, dance, family, and tradition! 💃

Three siblings take the stage for a special performance that doesn’t happen very often.

Troy MacGillivray is an accomplished, award-winning fiddler and piano player. Kendra MacGillivray is a two-time East Coast Music Award-winning Celtic fiddler. And Sabra MacGillivray is an accomplished Highland dancer and two-time world finalist at the World Highland Dancing Championships in Dunoon, Scotland.

Together, with expert accompaniment from Malcolm MacNeil, they’ll fill the hall with the music and dance of the Scottish Highlands they first heard growing up in Antigonish County — carrying on the legacy of their storied grandfather, Hugh A. MacDonald.

And making the evening even more special, they’ll be joined by beloved Gaelic singer Patricia Murray.

Join us Thursday night and help us kick off ReJigged Festival with a true celebration of Highland tradition! ✨

One of the best parts of a ReJigged weekend? The collaborations.

There’s something pretty special about seeing music and dance come together — artists sharing the stage, responding to one another, and creating moments that could only happen right there, in that room.

It’s the kind of energy that makes traditional arts feel so alive: musicians inspiring dancers, dancers bringing the music to life, and everyone feeding off the energy of the crowd.

We can’t wait to see what collaborations this year’s festival brings!
