GEDfest
Live performances by Trickle Down with Main Street Exiles as we celebrate the legacy of Gord Downie and raise vital funds to support the Never Alone Cancer Foundation while creating unforgettable memories.
GEDfest was born in Calgary shortly after Gord Downie’s passing in 2017. With returning events in Calgary, Edmonton and Kelowna, we are excited to announce the debut of GEDfest in Regina, Saskatoon and Winnipeg! This year marks our biggest reach yet.
With Gord Downie’s passing, music that generations viewed as being distinctly and uniquely Canadian was in danger of fading into the past. GEDfest is as much about keeping past Canadian memories alive as it is creating new ones. It gives us a reason to come together, play music and share some fun times with friends, while giving back to those affected by cancer in our local community. This is what makes me especially passionate about GEDfest”– Keith Dyck, founder of GEDfest.
