It will be a season of celebrating diverse art forms and excellent artists.
The St. Andrew’s United Church Series, sponsored by Legacy Co-op, begins Oct. 25, with a show from the awesome duo Tom & Kalissa Landa, a pair whose artistry involves many strings; be it ukulele or violin.

The Painted Hand Casino Series, sponsored by GX94 and FoxFM, kicks off Nov. 14, with Northern Alberta’s ‘The Misery Mountain Boys’; country music that pushes you to dance to their sweaty jazz beats.

The Painted Hand Casino series wraps-up with The Wardens who blend folk, roots and western styles, on April 08, 2025.
