After a standout inaugural year, DevFest is back and bigger than ever. Taking place on June 26–27 in Cornwall, Ont., the boutique music festival returns with Canadian favourites The Trews and The Strumbellas sharing top billing as dual headliners for a weekend of unforgettable live entertainment.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of the St. Lawrence River at the DEV Hotel Conference Centre Waterfront, DevFest offers a refreshing alternative to traditional festival experiences. Rather than sprawling fields and long waits, attendees can enjoy an intimate, hospitality-focused atmosphere complete with on-site accommodations, premium amenities, covered spaces and easy access to the stage.
The two-day event will also showcase an impressive lineup of emerging and regional talent, including JUNO Award-winning Angelique Francis Band, The County Lads, Luscious, Chambers Deslaurier, Trevor Walsh Group and Cornwall’s own Harry Lee Follen.
Building on the success of its 2025 debut, which featured Canadian rock legends 54-40, DevFest has expanded while maintaining its signature boutique feel. Guests can enhance their stay with access to the resort’s spa, pool, restaurants and recreation facilities, creating the ultimate music-meets-staycation experience.
With strong early ticket sales already underway, DevFest is poised to become one of Eastern Ontario’s must-attend summer events.
