This year we have gone out of our way to ensure that you get the best bang for your buck!

One of the greatest things about the tickets this year is that we will be offering a 2 DAY FESTIVAL PASS for only $35 which is good for both the Centennial Square concert on Thursday, July 15th & the Victoria Curling Club Grande Finale show on Saturday, July 17th/2004! We are offering this 2 DAY FESTIVAL PASS because people have been asking us to do it and it saves people money who commit early. PLEASE REMEMBER THERE ARE A LIMITED QUANTITY OF 2 DAY FESTIVAL PASSES SO PURCHASE THEM EARLY!

Both shows will be all ages with beer garden and merchandise tents.

There will be another ticketed show at Steamers Pub on the night of Friday, July 16th featuring The Soul Captives, One Drop & The Operators. The admission for this show will be at the door only. -- And if you remember last year, the show sold out in the first hour so make sure to line-up early for that one! --

Don't forgot that there is going to be awesome free performances on the afternoons of July 16th & July 17th @ Centennial Square so make sure you don't miss those ones!
