The Coal Shed Music Festival is a summer music event created as a fundraiser for the Yarmouth Food Bank. Local artists entertain on the Yarmouth waterfront every weekend in August.

Begun in 2007, the Coal Shed Music Festival has become the musical event of the summer. It has grown over the years from a strictly local event to a festival that now attracts national and international musicians, boasting over 200 performers over the nine days and nights of performances.
