2024 Rubaboo Arts Festival

Friday, July 19th - Sunday, July 28th

Join us for the 15th Anniversary of the Rubaboo Arts Festival!

You Are Loved

Rubaboo is a Métis-Michif language word and means a rich stew filled with all good things. Rubaboo is a philosophy about what sustains us; it’s about feeding the spirit, and it’s about thriving. The theme of this year’s festival is to amplify that You Are Loved, and is infused into our beautifully curated and engaging line-up: an Opening Reception that celebrates our 15th anniversary in style with artists Michelle Thrush and Cikwes; a family friendly play called Silly Billy from choreographers Arik Pipestem and Amy Hampton, about a rare white buffalo unhappy with his uniqueness; our signature Fusion Experience honouring some incredible young ancestors, the late Troy Emery Twigg, Taran J. Kootenhayoo and Bishop Pipestem; Amik Tales, a new play from Josh Languedoc that unpacks the oral stories of Amik and his journey to become the next best dam builder; enticing panels and workshops for Indigenous artists and creatives known as Rubaboo Side Dishes; Talk Treaty to Me, a collaborative theatre project exploring Treaty 6 relationships through different perspectives; and the You Are Loved Dance Party to celebrate who we are and wrap up the festival.

The 15th Anniversary of the Rubaboo Arts Festival is presented by the Dreamspeakers Festival Society, and takes place at Workshop West Playwrights’ Theatre (8529 Gateway Blvd NW) and Brighton Block (9666 Jasper Ave). For TICKETS, DETAILS and FULL SCHEDULE, visit dreamspeakers.org

The CKUA Events Calendar is a listing of music, arts, and culture happenings for the whole province. It is a terrific resource that CKUA offers to the community, to share details about concerts, gallery openings, plays, and films.

Please note that due to the amount of listings, we publish events that focus on music, arts, or culture. While we'd love to publish all submitted items, the sheer number of events means that we sometimes have to decline submissions.

Need to change or update your submitted event?

Email details to feedback@ckua.com and the CKUA team of calendar volunteers will do the rest.
