Winterruption YEG Ltd.
The Winterruption YEG festival is a multi-venue music and arts festival taking place in various indoor and outdoor venues in downtown Edmonton every January.
Started in 2019 in conjunction with Saskatoon and Regina Winterruption festivals, and Calgary’s Big Winter Classic, Winterruption YEG works closely with the arts community of Edmonton and greater Western Canadian winter community arts festivals to create a truly unique festival experience. Using the leverage of all Western Canadian winter festivals, Winterruption YEG uses its combined resources to create a dynamic and inclusive festival experience.
With event prices ranging from free to $59 weekend wristbands, the aim of the community winter arts festival is inclusivity and promotion of the arts in a barrier free snowy setting. Every show will also be subject to a safe and inclusive space policy, and a number of events will be geared towards all ages and family communities, as well as 18+. Programming is mandated to be diverse and inclusive, in genre, gender, sexuality, age and culture.
