The Chequegnat Festival is a backyard community event that has taken place each June
 since 2001 (except for 2020 and 2021). It is hosted by five homes in a neighbourhood near downtown Kitchener. 
In order to keep the size appropriate for  the venue, attendance is by invitation only.

2026 CHEQUEGNAT - June 6 1:00!

The Chequegnat Festival is back again on June 6, 2026 at 1:00 (WEATHER PERMITTING!).

10AM: We are going ahead today! We plan to start at 1PM, and will adjust if necessary.

Music happens from early afternoon until dusk, with a break for supper. We will continue the pot luck tradition,
so plan to bring a salad or dessert (etc) to share.
We will provide BBQ burgers and dogs.
Donations to help with expenses are accepted. Bring your lawn chairs, and come on over!

BUT - if you suspect you may have had a COVID exposure, please plan to skip Chequgnat this year.
We have some high risk people who will be attending and performing. Thank you.

See the Info page for the lineup, schedule, and more.
