Sasquatch Gathering 17

5 p.m.

Twp Rd 554
Evansburg, AB -
If you didn’t attend last year’s Sasquatch and you haven’t been to other events at Rangeton Park, let me assure you it is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a music and arts festival such as Sasquatch. Besides an amazing stage with AC power, there is a huge shelter in the main field, two cook houses, a playground, plenty of camping areas and access to the Pembina River. It is also one of the most weather-proof sites that I have ever seen.
And then there is the line up. Friday night will feature eclectic folk, reggae, blues and steam punk swing. Saturday offers two very different song circles, murder ballads and love gone wrong songs, acoustic rock, electric rock and electronica. And on Sunday, we are presenting the first ever Sasquatch Country Picnic. Two nights and two full days of great music and camping for only $60...
We will also be holding our first ever Sasquatch Afterparty on July 31st at Expressionz Café. The Afterparty will feature Australian power-trio Jungal and other special guests. Tickets are $7 advance and will be $10 at the door. Bring your favourite pics from the festival on a flash drive and we’ll project them at the show !
Hope to see you at Sasquatch !
Cheers,
John
