What was once a cow pasture in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, is now the home of the largest multi-day outdoor music festival in Atlantic Canada – the Cavendish Beach Music Festival!
CBMF (or “Cavy” to adoring fans) is a summer tradition for more than 60,000 country music lovers. The festival made its mark on the national stage as a two-time winner of the Canadian Country Music Association Festival/Event of the Year and nominee for East Coast Music Association Festival/Event of the Year. Appearing on several international top destination festival lists, it’s no secret why CBMF annually attracts droves of visitors to the region.
Nestled in the coastal resort community of Cavendish, the festival is surrounded by picturesque beaches with the warmest waters north of the Carolinas. The area boasts many attractions and adventures – camping, amusement parks, seaside dining, outdoor activities, galleries, shops, and the stunning Prince Edward Island National Park. Every July, Cavendish is turned into the hottest, most star-studded spot in the region, where memories are made that last a lifetime.

Cavendish is an unincorporated rural community in the township of Lot 23, Queens County, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
The community’s primary industries are tourism and agriculture supporting a very small year-round population. Cavendish is the largest seasonal resort area in Prince Edward Island with an average daily population in the months of July and August of approximately 7,500 residents.
Cavendish was founded in 1790 by three families who emigrated from Scotland – the MacNeils, the Clarks and the Simpsons. Lacking a harbour, Cavendish was primarily a small farming community throughout the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries.
