SOMMO.
The name Sommo comes from the musical term sommo, meaning “the highest” or “supreme” expression. That idea is reflected throughout the festival by bringing people together to experience unforgettable performances and incredible meals to conversations over drinks and moments shared with friends. It’s a celebration of everything that makes an East Coast summer special.

Since 2023, the festival has welcomed acclaimed artists including Mumford & Sons, Noah Kahan, Hozier, Alanis Morissette, and many more to Cavendish, PEI.
While the Main Stage showcases internationally recognized acts, the Sandbar Stage highlights emerging artists, beloved favourites, and local talent from Atlantic Canada and beyond. Whether you’re singing along from the front row or discovering your next favourite artist, every performance is part of what makes Sommo special.
