The festival is open to all ages, with discounted tickets for youth aged 11-17, and free entry for children 10 and under. Proceeds from the festival will go to Pathstone Mental Health, supporting initiatives across the Niagara Region.

In addition to two full days of live music and art, Cicada features a selection of local food vendors, a craft vendor marketplace and a festival bar featuring craft beer, cocktails, cider, wine and non-alcoholic options.

Full weekend and single day passes are available online, as well as in person at Mindbomb Records in Downtown St. Catharines. For more information on Cicada Music & Arts Festival, including a full performance schedule, visit www.cicadafestival.ca.
