Mixed Tapes: All Genres Festival 2026: Your Soundtrack Weekend
Two days of multi-genre music in the 1000 Islands
Remember making personalized mixed tapes? This festival captures that spirit — a carefully curated weekend where rock, country, pop, and everything in between share the stage. Bruce Boudreau, Moon Sugar, Country Rocks, Green Martini, Healy & Orr, and Get Real bring diverse genres together in a celebration of musical eclecticism.
🎵 All genres welcome
🎪 Campground festival
🏕 Overnight camping
🍺 Full amenities
💡 Just like a good mixed tape, this festival doesn’t stick to one sound. The idea is simple: enjoy whatever sounds good to your ear across a fun, low-key campground weekend in the scenic 1000 Islands.
Why Go
The concept behind Mixed Tapes is refreshingly honest: music fans don’t fit into a single genre box. One minute you love rock, the next it’s country, then it’s pop or anything else. This festival embraces that musical flexibility, bringing together artists from different styles and letting audiences enjoy whatever speaks to them.
Happening at a campground in the 1000 Islands, it’s an ideal weekend escape for anyone tired of festivals that force-feed a single genre. Mix your own experience, camp overnight, and let the eclectic lineup be the real star.

Questions?
What kind of music will be played?
Mixed Tapes is literally all genres. The lineup includes rock, country, pop, and more. It’s a celebration of musical diversity — think of it as a festival where your personal taste is the real playlist.
Are tickets for day passes or the whole weekend?
Both! You can buy a day pass for Saturday only ($50) or Sunday only ($50), or a weekend pass for both days ($99). Mix and match based on your schedule.
Can families and kids attend?
Yes. The afternoon-to-evening schedule and campground setting make it family-friendly. Kids are welcome, and the relaxed atmosphere is perfect for a family weekend getaway.
Is camping necessary to attend?
No. You can purchase day passes and drive from home, or book camping and stay on-site. Both options are available, so choose what works best for you.
What does “all genres” really mean?
The idea is that not every festival-goer fits a single music box. Preferences are personal and eclectic. This festival celebrates that by bringing together rock, country, pop, and everything in between — like assembling your own mixed tape.
What time does the music start?
Performances start at 5:00 PM both days and go through the evening. Plan for late nights and bring your energy for music from dinner time onward.
