Live Music all Weekend! Everyone knows that music is good for the soul. Great toe-tappin' music is the heart of any festival and we'll have a full slate of talented local stage performers and musicians at both locations.
The main stage for this year's festival is in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Memorial Complex located at 1702 - 21 Ave. Music performances run all day Saturday between 11 am and 5 pm.
You'll be able to sit back and relax, stay as long as you want, and enjoy some of Alberta's best performers. An incredible weekend of live performances - see them all for free!
And if we catch you dancing while waiting in line or shopping in a store, humming a tune while walking downtown Didsbury, or "playing drums" on the table in a coffee shop, we know we've done our job!
