About

R&S #17 – River & Sky 2025

Another year of River & Sky is just around the corner!

For newbies, R&S isn’t just a festival—it’s a celebration of music, art, and the Northern Ontario camping lifestyle. Set in the magical surroundings of Fishers’ Paradise, this five-day gathering features 40+ emerging and celebrated Canadian music acts in a landscape of pine trees, rivers, and starry skies.

R&S is a community. Our sprawling venue—Fishers' Paradise—includes trails, trees, and campsites. Picture this: a main stage by an oxbow lake, a riverside beach stage that shifts from daytime dance parties to a dreamy campfire stage at night, and plenty of spots to explore or unwind.

There’s spotty cellular service, no power, and lots of art installations to light up the night—so don’t forget your flashlight! Wander through 20 artisan crafters, feast on locally-sourced eats from our food vendors, or jump into one of our workshops. Need a breather? Take a dip in the Sturgeon River, heat up in one of two saunas, or simply stretch out under the sun.

This isn’t a festival where you’ll camp in a giant open field. Here, you’re surrounded by trees, friends, and good vibes. Whether you’re here for the music, the setting, or both, R&S is the highlight of the summer.

Early bird passes are on sale now—but for a limited time only. Choose from 5-day, 4-day, and 3-day weekend passes, and don’t forget to grab a Dog Pass for your furry festival buddy (yes, we’re still dog-friendly!). Secure your spot while you can!


IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR RETURNING FRIENDS…

IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR RETURNING FRIENDS…

Festival and camping passes are combined and include processing fees of $0.99 + 2.75% per ticket sold, before tax.  There is a cost breakout in the description for each ticket type.  You may notice that our Early Bird prices have increased.  We need to bring in more revenue to keep going.  We do hope to limit price increases on regular/advance tickets.  Early Bird passes will save you at least $50 per pass over forthcoming regular/advance tickets.   

The Fishers’ Fee! This camping fee is incorporated into every ticket — weekend, day, vendor, guests, comped tickets, giveaway winners, you name it.  

It will be held for the Fishers’, and is completely separate from what goes to the festival. The fee is $30-$40 for multi-day passes and $10 for single-day passes. The fee for children (ages 5-13) is $15 for multi-day and $5 for single-day.

But wait, are kids still free under 14? Yes! Although River & Sky does have to charge a $1 ticket for kids under 5-14. It’s simply the Fishers’ Fee that you’ll be covering — this helps us and the Fishers’ prepare the venue for all different ages, anticipate numbers, know what kind of workshops to program, and keep track of the little ones on-site.

The Fishers’ Fee will show up under "Processing Fees" during checkout.  (?why Weez why?)

Dog Passes: Last year, we introduced the Dog Pass, and it was a big success! Both attendees and the Health Unit appreciated the added accountability and safety it brought to the festival. To keep the good vibes going, we’re issuing Dog Passes again this year. For $20, your furry friend will get access to the entire festival and receive a custom R&S bandana—their very own wristband! This pass ensures all dogs are accounted for, keeps everyone feeling safe, and helps us maintain our dog-friendly tradition.  The Dog Pass will appear as a purchase add-on after you select your main passes.

RV/Trailer Camping Passes: As always, we ask that you purchase a Trailer Camping Pass if you are staying in a camper or any sort. The Trailer Camping Pass will appear as a purchase add-on after you select your main passes.
