Evolve Festival is an annual multi-genre music and cultural festival in New Brunswick. The festival is dedicated to the promotion of sustainable living and environmental awareness. It uses renewable energy sources, recycled, and biodegradable products and endeavours to limit solid waste.

The festival originally took place near Antigonish, Nova Scotia, until 2016, when the festival's permit was revoked due to issues related to rampant drug use among attendees.; it subsequently relocated to Beersville, New Brunswick. In 2010, Evolve Festival won the CBC Radio 3 contest vote for "Best Festival In Canada".

The festival presents a diverse lineup of rock, jazz, funk, world music, hip hop, bluegrass and electronica performers.
