About

The Big Pond Concert is back this summer. After decades at MacIntyre’s Field and a few years inside the fire hall, the concert is back outside, on the old ball field behind the church and fire hall—the concert’s new home since 2022. There’s nothing like live music in the fresh air with good company! Bring a chair, a friend, and your love for great tunes, and help grow this great community tradition. This will be an unforgettable afternoon of live music featuring Delores Boudreau; Bradley Murphy; Howie MacDonald; Brenda Stubbert; Mac Morin; Rachel Davis & Darren McMullen; Shelly Campbell & Allan Dewar; Kyle MacDonald, Jason Roach & James MacLean; and more. Buy tickets in person at East Bay Country Market. Outdoor family concert. No alcohol permitted.
