1. 15+ artists, 5 events, 3 super hawt days
2. Concerts and happenings to melt winter blues!
3. A Very Good Time during the coldest prairie season
Winterruption is a late-January festival that blends indoor concerts and outdoor activities to cook up something warming to look forward to at the end of January. This year features a special evening with Hawksley Workman at Darke Hall, an intimate evening with Polaris Music Prize winner Pierre Kwenders, two showcase concerts (The Winterruption Prairie Network and Cups N Cakes Network), The Aunty Show curated and hosted by Zoey Roy, an outdoor skating party and a drone music sound bath courtesy of the Holophon Drone Ensemble.
In 2023, the magical beast that is Winterruption turns 8! As part of the 2023 RFF Concert Series and with a taste of the summer Festival itself, we at the RFF along with our partners in Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Swift Current present three wonderful days of musical warmth on some of the coldest days of the year. On January 26th through 28th Regina will get a whole lot cooler thanks to Winterruption. Each year varies from each other in form and content but are always unequivocally beautiful successes and we look forward to sharing great music with Regina audiences once again.
