✨ Why This Festival Has Built a Loyal Following

Stirling’s Rock N Roll Music Festival isn’t chasing the current charts — it’s built entirely around the decades that shaped rock and roll in the first place. MillPond Music & Entertainment, the local promoter behind it, has grown this event into a genuine twice-yearly tradition at the Stirling Fairgrounds, running a spring edition in June and this fall edition in September, each with its own dedicated lineup of tribute acts and period-specific bands.

What makes it stand apart from a typical touring festival is the format. This is a campground event first and a concert second — every ticket bundles four nights of on-site camping with three full days of music, so the crowd that shows up tends to settle in for the whole run rather than just dropping by for an afternoon. That built-in commitment creates a genuinely social, reunion-like atmosphere among regulars who return year after year.

The lineup leans heavily on tribute and cover acts spanning doo-wop, soul, and classic rock — bands like Willy & The Poor Boys channeling Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Eddy & The Stingrays keeping the 50s rock and roll spirit alive. If you grew up on this music, or just love the sound of it, it’s a rare chance to hear an entire weekend built around nothing else.

⛺ Camping

Camping isn’t an add-on here — it’s baked into the ticket price. Every $175 pass includes 4 nights of on-site camping right at the Stirling Fairgrounds alongside all 3 days of music, and campsite selection is available when you book through Ticketscene.

That’s a fundamentally different setup than a day-pass festival — expect a proper campground community to form over the weekend, with fellow attendees settling in for the full run rather than coming and going. Bring your own trailer, tent, or RV setup, since the ticket covers your site but not your gear, and give yourself extra time on arrival day to get set up before the music starts.

📋 Essentials

🚗 Getting There & Parking

The Stirling Fairgrounds sit right on West Front Street in the village of Stirling, part of Stirling-Rawdon, roughly midway between Belleville and Peterborough in Eastern Ontario.

Parking: On-site parking is available at the fairgrounds — since most attendees are also camping for the weekend, plan for a full car load of gear on arrival.

💡 A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Go

🎒 Pack like you’re camping, because you are. Bring your own tent or trailer setup — camping is included but the gear isn’t, and this is a genuine 4-night stay.

🚫 Leave the glass at home. Glass containers aren’t permitted on the grounds — bring drinks in cans or other approved containers instead.

🚬 Smoke only in designated areas. Smoking is not permitted within the main stage area, main stage viewing area, or under the tents — designated outdoor smoking areas are provided instead.

🎫 Book early for the best price. Ticket pricing typically increases after an early-bird deadline, so locking in a spot sooner rather than later tends to save money.

🔒 Keep an eye on your belongings. Security is on site, but the festival makes clear that patrons are responsible for their own property.
