River Rats Festival

Bringing Athabasca and surrounding communities together to enjoy music, local artisans, and many other family oriented activities. Come celebrate Canada Day weekend on the banks of the mighty Athabasca River.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE RATS?

It's great if you are and we're getting ready for you too. The new executive is making lot's of changes and we're excited to make 2012 the best year ever.

We're extending the 2012 festival to 2 days and a bonus evening.

June 29th Rockin' The River - An evening of modern rock.
June 30th Roots N' Boots - A whole day featuring blues, folk and country.
July 1st The "Eh" List - A day of quintessential Canadian artists.

Other changes this year include:

Bringing back the Jet Boats (thanks to Grand Rapids Wilderness Adventure) for a thrilling display of speed and agility.
Opening up a Beer Garden.
Having children's entertainers as well as activities.
Providing printed barcoded tickets for purchase and e-tickets for online orders.

Who are the artists you ask? We can't tell you....not yet anyways. Many are waiting to sign on but we don't have all the deposit money. For your trust in us, we've created Special Ticket Pricing at only $10 per day. This pricing will be in effect from November 1st, 2011 until midnight November 25th at Moonlight Madness. This is an incredible deal because tickets will jump in price after we announce the artists. Your Early Bird ticket will also get you extra chances at winning prizes throughout the year. We're planning on giving away ITunes gift cards, concerts and many other items.
