2012 News
In the Winter 2011 issue of Prairie North Magazine, the Gravelbourg Summer Solstice Festival d'été was voted as one of the best festivals in Saskatchewan!!
This is fantastic news! Preparations for the 2012 festival are well underway and this year's programming and events are shaping up to be some of the most accessible, innovative and best that we have ever offered.
This annual event is very important to the community of Gravelbourg and the surrounding area in exploring various cultures, building camaraderie, improving communication and instilling a sense of civic pride.
We look forward to working with our local community. Each year approximately 100 volunteers commit more than 2,500 hours to the success of the festival. By working together to achieve a common goal the community gains understanding and insight into future opportunities for community improvement and growth and a strong appreciation for their neighbor.
We invite you to come out and join us this June 22nd weekend. This spectacular 3 day multicultural event is fun for the whole family. Starting Friday night, the international food festival celebrates over a dozen countries with this year's exciting theme commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Année des Fransaskois / Year of the Fransaskois. Congratulations! Saturday has something for everyone with the Kids' Corner, Art Market, Workshops and so much more. Saturday night dance the night away with the lively rhythms of franco pop, Brazilian beat, rock/indie, hip hop, just to name a few! Wrap up the weekend on Sunday with the sounds of gospel music in Gravelbourg's very own European Cathedral.
Stay tuned for more information! You can also follow us on Facebook.
