While row seating will be available, we encourage guests to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs for a cozy spot on the grass. In case of rain, the concert will move indoors to the Festival Place Theatre.

Immerse yourself in the arts as local artists showcase and sell their creations, bridging the gap between artistry and artists.

Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased here.  Children under 12 are free.  Ticket sales help to support young performing and visual artists through grants and scholarships in Strathcona County.
