Fernie’s Annex Park will come to life this weekend when the Wapiti Music Festival takes place (August 8-9).

The festival is featuring a host of Canadian indie talent including: July Talk, Zeus, The Strumbellas, Good for Grapes, Fast Romantics, JP Hoe, Greg Drummond, Jordan Klassen and more.

Storming the indie scene, July Talk’s true rock and roll sound will take the CBC Stage Saturday night, sharing the evening with Fast Romantics and The Strumbellas.

The Strumbella’s (pictured above) recently took home the 2014 Juno Award for Roots Album of the Year. Toronto’s Zeus and Vancouver’s Good for Grapes is a must see for the Friday night lineup. Listen and explore the full lineup on the Wapiti website.

Heading into its fourth year, Wapiti Music Festival brings the best of ‘Fresh Canadian Indie’ right into Fernie’s backyard for two days of awesome fun for all ages.

New this year is a free community outdoor concert on Thursday evening, August 7 at The Arts Station in downtown Fernie, featuring Victoria B.C.’s Wil.

This will be a free show to the public Thursday evening to kick off the Wapiti weekend.

Kids 12 and under and seniors 65 and older are free.

There will once again be a kids’ tent, refreshment gardens and a vendor village to take care of all your needs.
