Event Description:

July 21-24, 2011 at Prince’s Island Park – Over the water and through the trees an island teems with the sights and sounds of musical exploration and community, a magic place that springs to vivid life every July for four wonderful days. Step off the edge of Calgary’s concrete jungle and feel the grass beneath your toes, hang with your friends and neighbours and be reminded about what it means to be alive and connected.

It is a village fifty thousand strong, full of care-free innovators and history makers writing their stories on the warm summer breeze. It is our small town in the big city, rebuilt for 32 straight years and brimming with the joyous sounds of collaboration and inspiration. It’s an aural adventure; sweet and edgy, evolving and unpredictable. Diverse voices from across the globe will emancipate your ears and thrill your hearts with a tapestry of once-in-a-lifetime moments.

See and hear 68 artists from 14 countries on 7 stages. Visit the interactive family area, browse at the original tree-shaded artisan market, sample some cuisine from the global village and share a beverage with your tribe in the beer garden. Make some music in Bin 15 and see some original theatre at the BIOBOXES.
Hike, bike, float or fly. Get yourself to the place where anything is possible. Put down some roots. Discover a world of music.
