A Festival of Musical Encounters
The Bragg Creek Music Festival is a new music festival to be held at Bragg Creek Centre in late May 2008.
Bragg Creek Festival May 30 & 31, 2008
Welcome to the Bragg Creek Festival website.
We're still building our Festival and our Web Site. A lot of information is now available but please excuse a few pages that aren't finished. Festival tickets are now available. See our Tickets page for more information.
This is the inaugural Bragg Creek Festival and the initial plan was for a music festival. There certainly will be music but, with the help of the Bragg Creek and Area Chamber of Commerce, many of the restaurants and businesses will be involved too. Some of our restaurants will have food specials and live music available. Some stores and shops will provide special items and discounts for Festival attendees.
The Bragg Creek Music Festival also has some sponsors. There are links to our sponsors on the sidebar at the left. If you would like to help sponsor the Bragg Creek Music Festival, please
In our inaugural season, we'll have a single venue with a single stage. There are other venues and opportunities in the Bragg Creek area to expand the Festival in future years.
We hope you will check back on this web site for more details about the Bragg Creek Music Festival and join us May 30 and 31 for the premier Bragg Creek Music Festival.
The Musical Vision
We envision a festival of musical encounters, highlighting and blending Classical, Latin, Folk and Jazz genres. The artists will cross the conventional boundaries that usually divide music into genres or traditions. The audience, from Bragg Creek, Calgary and beyond, will experience distinctive, appealing and exciting examples of what happens when skilled performers move into each other’s musical “space”. Also, we will be inviting the many artists and artisans who reside in and around Bragg Creek to display their work at our venue and all the other participating venues where practical. Local musicians will perform in the various restaurants in Bragg Creek during the lunch and supper hours.
What's Different at the Bragg Creek Music Festival?
- It's Indoors
The weather in the Foothills in late May could range from cold and snowing to warm and dry. May is often quite wet. The main hall at Bragg Creek Centre is dry and has both heating and air conditioning providing a comfortable environment for the audience to enjoy the entertainment. - Smaller Audience
The hall only holds about 500 people so compared to festivals that entertain several thousand people, you'll be closer to the stage and be able to see the performers better. - Sound and Light
The sound system is matched to the hall acoustics providing better sound than is available outdoors. All performances are lit to enhance the entertainment experience. - Musical Diversity
We plan to have performers with various musical styles, including classical, and have them cross their conventional boundaries, into other performer's spaces. In addition, the performers will also provide sets from their own repertoires.
