BIG Winter Classic: Unveiling Full Festival LIne Up
As the countdown continues for BIG Winter Classic, Calgary's leading winter arts and music festival, the city anticipates a transformative experience from January 24-28, 2024. Originating from the desire to celebrate Calgary year-round, BIG Winter Classic amalgamates the essence of arts, music, local beer, and the resilient spirit of Calgarians for an immersive four-day winter wonderland weekend.
At the heart of BIG Winter Classic's mission is the commitment to nurturing Calgary's creative soul. The festival serves as a beacon for artistic expression, unity, and inclusion in the heart of Calgary, where the arts converge with community. Embracing inclusivity and safety, BIG Winter Classic weaves a tapestry of diverse art forms, celebrating individuality and fostering unity across audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
Beyond a festival, BIG Winter Classic is a celebration of the multifaceted nature of art. From comedy to music, performing arts, and visual arts, the festival showcases a spectrum of human expression. Venturing beyond traditional venues, fringe events are hosted in local pubs, clubs, and vacant downtown office spaces, seamlessly integrating art into everyday life.
A notable highlight is the festival's dedication to providing a platform for both local and international talents. Newly added to this year's lineup are Helena Deland, French Class, Viva Non, By Divine Right, ASKO, Jane Inc., Carter Felker, Pony Girl, and Slow Down Molasses and many many more. These exceptional acts join international greats Geese, Vundabar, Sunny War, Battles, Meule, Hot Garbage, Waahli, and Nyssa, along with local favorites like Sunglaciers, The Hi-Tops, and the 15th-anniversary show of Napoleon Skywalker.
BIG Winter Classic, by fostering collaborations and ensuring extensive press coverage, empowers artists, amplifying their voices and ensuring their talents resonate globally.
Serving as a catalyst for cultural exploration, BIG Winter Classic invites attendees to broaden their horizons, challenge norms, and immerse themselves in thought-provoking experiences. Through the universal language of art, the festival builds bridges between people, cultures, and ideas, creating enduring memories and contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Calgary's artistic legacy.
Join us from January 24-28, 2024, and be part of this extraordinary celebration of art, music, and unity. Let's emerge from our homes and embrace the warmth of creativity, unity, and understanding in the heart of Calgary.
