Where Great Music Meets Friendly Competition and Community Pride
Set along the scenic shores of Herring Neck, NL, the Herring Neck Dory Festival is a four-day celebration of Newfoundland heritage, community, and coastal spirit. From traditional kitchen parties and thrilling dory races to gatherings that bring generations together, this grassroots festival captures the heart of outport life.
