Where do we begin?
Thank you to the 102 artists who graced our stages, halls, clubs, arena (what?), church, pubs, bars and houses.
Thanks to our festival and booking partners in Winnipeg, Saskatoon (the OG), Calgary, Rosslyn and Vancouver.
Thanks to our community partners from local breweries, sandwich shops, barber shops, vintage clothing retailers and more.
Thanks to our production, lighting, video and photography teams for making the best shows look even better.
Thanks for understanding the Talib Kweli sized curve ball having to move a show from a Wednesday to a Monday and somehow make it even more epic than imagined.
Thanks to our federal, provincial, municipal, local business and arts funders for believing that Edmonton can truly be a festival city, year round.
Thanks to our 70 volunteers including our volunteer board for pulling this off year after year and for some reason - keep coming back.
Finally, thanks to the nearly 6300 or so of you who came out on worst weather weekend the festival’s history. You can’t be stopped.
We’ll see you next year.
