What is RTMF?

It's one of the best independent music festivals in Manitoba. Three days of music, camping, good friends, bonfires, dancing, and so much more. It's also 100% volunteer driven and dedicated to promoting local music and art.

What will I hear?

RTMF showcases the high level of quality that exists in local music of all genres. Its unique programming inspires audiences and challenges the listener. Rock, electro, hip-hop, blues, jazz, folk, garage, metal, punk, and more.

What kinds of activities are there?

RTMF features an ever-changing lineup of engaging and creative activities to spark your imagination and connect with the community and the land. In the past, we've hosted painting sessions, printmaking workshops, photography, educational nature walks, mycology talks, cribbage tournaments, screen printing, and so much more!

Where is it?

RTMF has set up shop on the pristine and beautiful banks of the Rosseau River, just south of St. Malo, Manitoba. The site is owned by the fantastic and generous George and Florence Beaudry.

Can I come?

Do you love music? Are you a positive and friendly person that likes making new friends and having fun? Enjoy sunshine? Like to dance? Crave camping? If you answered YES to these questions, then we would love to have you!
