Rhubarb! returns for its 48th year as Canada's longest-running genre-bending festival of Live Art, with Festival Director Ludmylla Reis. The 2027 edition is themed around the concept of the crossroads — a meeting of the path being chosen and the path being left behind, a place to stop, rest, and consult with the gods who live there. The festival presents raw, revelatory, and riotous live art from a wide range of artists and forms.
