Lawnya Vawnya is a non-profit arts organization that presents year-round multidisciplinary and collaborative artistic experiences focusing on independent music, including a multi-day festival of music and art hosted each spring in downtown St. John’s, Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland).

Lawnya Vawnya gets its name from an old Newfoundland expression meaning “To have a good time at a dance or a party with plenty to eat”. It is a good time by the sea.

The LV HQ is located at 4 Clift’s-Baird’s Cove, downtown St. John’s. Look for the bright blue doors!

Lawnya Vawnya takes place the first week of June each year.
