Information for Acadia Students
|
|
Deep Roots recognizes that September is an exciting time in the local community, as Acadia students are returning to Wolfville, or arriving to the town for their first time. Taking part in Festival events is a great way for students to get to know their neighbouring community and immerse themselves in the vibrant local culture.
The Festival uses many venues on Acadia's campus, and offers a range of activities that appeal to music-learners and music-lovers!

What's there for Students?
|
Attend an Event
We have great student rates for many of our concerts. We also have a number of free events, including Artists @ Acadia, a free seminar at Acadia's Irving Centre. For more information, view the Events @ Acadia and Student Pricing sections below.
Volunteer
We have many volunteer opportunities during and leading up to the Deep Roots Music Festival. Acadia volunteers have been at the heart of the Festival's Green Team from the very beginning; Acadia Environmental Sciences students have coordinated this initiative since 2008. As well, Acadia volunteers have helped out in the kitchen and Green Rooms, as stagehands and tech assistants, as First Aid and office assistants, and have helped with fund-raising. There are lots of opportunities to have fun, contribute to the community, and gain a valuable reference when you choose to volunteer with Deep Roots!
If you're interested in contributing your time, please fill out a volunteer application and our volunteer coordinator will be in touch.
