Jubilee Auditorium JUBEFEST Continues In August

Alberta's Jubilees continue Summer's JubeFest with live, local music on Thursday nights on Jube Patio in Edmonton & Jube Island in Calgary.

"Our musicians are world-class, Alberta-based artists and the collective response from ticket buyers, to our front of house team, to our technicians, has been overwhelmingly positive," says Alberta Jubilee Auditoria Society Executive Director Jonathan Love. "It is a special thing for everyone to attend and work these shows because it means we are getting back to the things we love to do, together. We hope you have the opportunity to join us in August. Until then, we look forward to seeing you Thursday for the final July JubeFest performance featuring Krissy Feniak in Edmonton and Flint & Feather with special opening act musician & hoop dancer Dallas Arcand Jr. in Calgary."
