One of the best places to spend an evening during the Wharf Rat Rally isn’t on two wheels—it’s right on the Digby waterfront.

We’re excited to welcome back the Dockside Stage, bringing free live entertainment to the heart of the Rally Strip on Friday and Saturday of Rally weekend.

Made possible through our valued partnership with the Fundy Complex, the Dockside Stage is the perfect place to relax, enjoy incredible local music, grab a bite to eat, and soak up everything that makes the Wharf Rat Rally such a unique experience.

A Partnership That Brings the Rally to Life

The Fundy Complex has become an important partner in helping the Wharf Rat Rally continue to grow, and we’re proud to have them as one of our Premier Partners for 2026.

In addition to presenting the Dockside Stage entertainment, the Fundy Complex is also the Presenting Sponsor of the Sunday Night Fireworks, helping us cap off another incredible Rally weekend with one of Digby’s favourite traditions.

And that’s not all…

Let’s just say they’re also helping bring an exciting attraction to this year’s Rally.

We’re not quite ready to share all the details, but trust us—you’re going to want to stay tuned.

Friday Night – Sissiboo

Friday evening, the Dockside Stage welcomes Sissiboo, a high-energy dance and party band from Digby County.

Known throughout southwestern Nova Scotia for getting crowds on their feet, Sissiboo delivers a fun mix of favourites that keeps the energy high all night long.

It’s the perfect soundtrack as Rally weekend gets underway.

Saturday Night – Too Far Gone

On Saturday evening, the Dockside Stage welcomes Too Far Gone, bringing their Valley roots and crowd-pleasing sound to Digby’s waterfront.

Whether you’re winding down after a full day of Rally activities or looking for another great place to enjoy live music, Too Far Gone promises another fantastic night of entertainment in the centre of the action.

The Best Seat in the Rally

The Dockside Stage isn’t just about the music.

It’s about the experience.

Located in the heart of the Rally Strip, you’re surrounded by everything that makes the Wharf Rat Rally special.

Take in the beautiful views of Digby Harbour.

Watch motorcycles cruise Water Street.

Grab fresh seafood, a burger, or your favourite Rally snack from one of the nearby restaurants or food vendors.

Meet friends old and new.

Then settle in and enjoy an evening of free live entertainment with the waterfront as your backdrop.

There’s simply no better place to spend a summer evening.

Make It Part of Your Rally Weekend

Whether you’re looking for a place to relax after a day of exploring, somewhere to enjoy great local music, or simply another reason to spend time on the Digby waterfront, the Dockside Stage belongs on your Rally itinerary.

Bring a chair—or simply pull up a spot along the waterfront—and enjoy two evenings of fantastic live entertainment.
