Le Cirque de la Nuit
Le Cirque de la Nuit presents awe-inspiring experiences that stay with you long after the final curtain call. Their talented artists bring their skills to life in a way that is theatrical, immersive, and unforgettable, pairing perfectly with elaborate themes and storylines, intricate costumes, stunning set designs, and innovative special effects and props to create a world of wonder and intrigue!
Smalleyes Family of Stoney Nakoda
Traditional dancing, singing and drumming shared with heart by this multigenerational family of cultural knowledge keepers. This extended family of performers, artists and community leaders bring along their Stoney culture wherever they go, and that’s both enlightening and deeply compelling—not just given their diverse talents and abilities, but because they share it with such courage and generosity of spirit.
The Latin Beat
The Ducks
The Ducks may be one of the youngest bands in the Bow Valley but they can sure rock the roof off! The Ducks started in 2019 when they played a concert in their garage to curious neighbors wondering what all the racket was. After rising to fame in the Bow Valley in 2023 they have played gigs for parties and restaurants around town. The band consists of three ducklings: Timmy Mann (lead guitar and lead vocals), Charlie Kestle (pianist and drummer) and Oliver Robins (bassist and backup vocals).
Enjoy art workshops, artist demonstrations, hands-on activities, films, a community campfire, outdoor markets, and live performances - art and creativity will abound, promising fun for people of all ages to enjoy.
