FROGFEST 2024
Music. Art. Community.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. Finally, we acknowledge all Nations – Indigenous and non – who live, work and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory.
This sacred gathering place provides us with an opportunity to engage in and demonstrate leadership on reconciliation. Thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to join our team on the lands of Treaty 7 territory.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT REGARDING FROGFEST '24
January 16, 2024
Happy early days of 2024!
Did you know this year is a leap year?
We froggies are taking a page from the calendar and have decided to take a moment to look before we leap.
We will not be hosting a remote, weekend long festival. Instead, look for smaller events in and around the city and never before dreamed of collaborations.
You ribbited, and we listened.
We are looking to create more intimate, curated gatherings to regroup our community. We invite you: the artists, the musicians, the dancers, appreciators and revelers, the only reason our not for profit exists, into the circle. Reach out with any performance, venue or collaboration ideas you may have.
We are taking a year to fundraise, to seek new opportunity and to look for a new direction in which to transform.
We came hopping out of covid-induced hibernation and found a picturesque landing pad to host two comeback festivals at the stunning Flint Rock Ranch. We found supportive hosts and an aligned vision and, together with you, were able to create much merriment. We will keep that rolling into the future.
If you didn't get a chance to come to the fest, we highly recommend renting one of their cozy AirBnBs.
We are so grateful for all they offered us!
You're amazing, keep doing what you do!
And to all you Froggies out there, keep your ear to the ground for news of upcoming city events!
FEEL THE LOVE
