Canada Rock Fest formerly CannaFest Music Festival started in Grand Forks as a two day event. It quickly grew from two days and has been a three day event since 2016. In 2019, Gene Simmons became part of a new re-branded festival that was named Titans of Rock. Shortly thereafter Chuck, the owner and founder of the current festival decided not to go ahead with a partnership with Gene Simmons and the project was scrapped.

Canada Rock Fest was born after the Titans project ended. The festival has seen incredible talent over the years, from Whitesnake to Gene Simmons and a number of local Grand Forks bands.

Fans can look forward to an all new venue for 2024, the festival is moving to a privately owned 7 acre piece of land in the city. Camping and RV parking will be less than a 5 minute walk. The festival will be providing shuttle service for people that may need a bit of assistance getting back and forth.

New for this year may be a shuttle service from the hotels to the festival and then downtown so Canada Rock Fest festival goers can see all the unique shops downtown Grand Forks has to offer.

If you are heading to Canada Rock Fest and happen to be downtown you can pick up some legal cannabis from the first and arguably the best cannabis store in the city.
