As another festival season gets underway, we find ourselves reflecting on where it all began - the Miramichi Rock N’ Roll Festival. What started with a shared love of antique cars and a vision of bringing the community together has grown into something truly special, now re-imagined as Rockin’ River Fest.

Over the years, this festival has been shaped by so many incredible people. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported the event. From sponsors and volunteers to attendees who joined us year after year, near and far. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and sense of community helped create lasting memories, lifelong friendships, and connections that continue to this day.

As we officially pass the torch, we are excited to wish the new committee all the very best as they take Rockin’ River Fest into its next chapter. We have no doubt that their fresh ideas, creativity, and passion will lead to many years of continued growth and success.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us, and here’s to the future of Rockin’ River Fest!

Sincerely,

Nelson Stewart, Cheriel MacKinley, Morris Allison, and Tim Irving.

🎤 SHE’S BACK, MIRAMICHI — AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
After two completely sold-out visits, Tina Randell is returning to Miramichi - and this time she’s helping us raise funds in support of our festival, with proud event support from The Classic Bar.

If you’ve seen her before, you already know: tickets won’t last long.

Tina Randell is a sharp, high-energy Canadian comedian known for her brutally honest storytelling, quick crowd work, and relatable humour about real life, relationships, and everyday chaos. She doesn’t just perform — she works a room until everyone feels part of the show.

SHOW DETAILS:
📍 The Classic Bar — Downtown Newcastle
Saturday, April 11 — 8:00 PM
Sunday, April 12 — 3:00 PM
Tickets: $28
(On sale now for both shows)

Available at:
• The Goodie Shop Restaurant
• N&J Convenience

Both of Tina’s previous Miramichi shows sold out fast - and we fully expect the same again.

Grab your tickets early, support the festival, and get ready for a night (or afternoon) of serious laughs.

That voice. That presence. That undeniable talent.

We are beyond proud to showcase the incredible local artists coming out of our community.

So excited to welcome Amelia Underhill as one of our local openers for Brett Kissel at Rockin’ River Fest this year. Watching hometown talent step onto a big stage never gets old.

This is what it’s all about.
