Support Ticket Program

Feel free to give the gift of live music this summer. Our support ticket program allows people in our community who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford admission to attend the festival. You may do so using the ticket processor above. $40 is the suggested donation for an adult support ticket. Thank you for your generosity!
By sponsoring a ticket, you will make it possible for an individual to experience an uplifting afternoon of music, dance, and connecting with nature! These individuals are community citizens who would love to come yet don't have the resources to make that happen. Generous donors who sponsor tickets allow local organizations like Canadian Mental Health Association, Prairie Welcome House, and Eagles Fire Youth Centre to give tickets directly to members of their communities, bringing smiles and warming hearts of those in need, one ticket at a time.
Your contribution not only supports the fest, but helps to touch lives in our community.
