Have you ever wondered what it is like to see Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep in full rutting action? We invite you to join us for the 2018 Headbanger Festival November 2 through 4!

The Headbanger Festival is set to be a hands on event, full of interactive and educational workshops, unique presentations, and a whole lot of fun!

The Bighorn Sheep have been a focal attraction in the Village of Radium Hot Springs for decades and their daily presence and beauty is something we in Radium are proud to celebrate. At the Headbanger Festival we do just that!
