Warmer weather is here in Edmonton, and with it comes the lead up to Heart of the City Music and Arts Festival! The free, two-day festival will be held in Giovanni Caboto Park on June 6 and 7. Every year it is a huge undertaking, and everyone is invited to help make it a success!

If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer, please join us for a BBQ on Saturday, April 11. From 12-3 p.m. in Giovanni Caboto Park, you can eat, meet, and greet to your heart’s content! Find out more about our festival, what kind of roles you can fill, and meet other volunteers. If you have any questions, please email hotcvolunteer@gmail.com.

If you’re a musician, the deadline to apply to perform at the festival is 7 April. Visit our website, www.heartcityfest.com for all the details.

If you’re an artist, you are an important part of the festival too! Please email heartcityart@gmail.com for all the info on getting involved!

Finally, come on out to the Carrot Coffeehouse on 118 Avenue in the evening on Sunday, May 3 for our big fundraiser. Save the date, because we hope to see you there!
