Winterruption is in partnership with Saskatoon and Regina’s Winteruption festivals and Calgary’s Big Winter Classic.
“Winterruption YEG hopes to work closely with the arts community of Edmonton and greater western Canadian winter arts festivals to create a truly unique festival experience,” the festival website reads.
“With event prices ranging from free to $49 weekend wristbands, the aim of the community winter arts festival is inclusivity and promotion of the arts in a snowy setting.”
