Suntree Music Festival & Neighbourhood BBQ in Okotoks


The Okotoks Suntree Village Residents Association is hosting their 2nd annual Suntree Music Festival & Neighbourhood BBQ on Sept 8th starting at 1:00 pm.  (Rain out date is Saturday, Septh 15th)

This festival is put on by the residents of Suntree as a way to bring their neighbourhood together in a beautiful local park.

The festival features a mix of neighbourhood musicians that will entertain throughout the afternoon, culminating in a two hour performance from Suntree resident Jeff Stillie and his band Wildcard (who are a professional band in the Calgary area).

Neighbourhood volunteers will man the BBQ and Beer Garden Party adjacent the festival, while children can participate in games and other activities.

This is the second year for the event and community leaders are working at fundraising to make it a sustainable event. The music festival is part of a local summer program that also includes the Kids Camp out and pancake breakfast in August.

The goal is to host one event a season that brings the neighbourhood together to enhance both the quality of life in the neighbourhood and the sense of community.

This Residents Association is a member of ACE Okotoks and encourages as well as supports the creation of neighbourhood associations, events, and activities that build community.
