Stoodis Fest

Launching September 19 in Calgary, Stoodis Fest is a new Indigenous music festival rooted in community, culture, and the future. This drug and alcohol free, family-friendly soft launch brings together 10+ outstanding Indigenous musicians from Treaty 7, alongside drum groups, Elders, and cultural programming.

More than a concert, Stoodis Fest is a gathering — a place for families, youth, and community members to celebrate Indigenous creativity in a good way. This inaugural event offers a glimpse into a growing movement designed to uplift Indigenous talent and be shared across Turtle Island for generations to come.

Taking place all day on September 19, 2026, at MacEwan Hall in Calgary, Stoodis Fest brings together an exciting lineup featuring The North Sound, Wyatt C. Louis, Black Crow Funk, Turning Robe Drum Group, Pollux, Ekkohs, Redfoot, Sunflower Dreams, Lucid 44, and Culture Shock.

Saturday, September 19
MacEwan Hall, University of Calgary
Doors at 12 p.m. | Music starts at 1 p.m.

Origin of West Anthem

The traditional territories of the Treaties 6, 7, and 8 Peoples encompass the majority of Alberta. Many First Nations continue to make their homes on today’s prairies: Siksikaitsitapi (including the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations), Tsuut’ina Nation, Îyâxe Nakoda (comprising the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley First Nations), Cree, Nakoda Sioux, Dene and Saulteaux, among others. The Otipemisiwak Métis Government governs five Territories within Alberta, distinct from the province’s eight Métis Settlements. Many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, both from here and as visitors from elsewhere, have helped care for these lands for generations. We recognize that they have traditions and relationships with the land far outstretching the arrival of settlers.

We are extremely grateful for these lands on which we reside, work, and play. We make this acknowledgement as an act of gratitude and reconciliation. While championing the arts across Alberta, we intend for our work to contribute to the valuing of traditional art forms and result in greater opportunity for the creative Indigenous talent who walk these lands today.
