There are workshops available with the artists on Saturday and Sunday. See the workshop web page for times and artists.

In 2010, Friday Night of the Bragg Creek Festival will be devoted to artists who are under 19 but are already superb musicians, singers and song writers. We're calling it YoUthtopia. You can get more details on the YoUthtopia page on the Bragg Creek Festival web site. Tickets for Youthtopia are $15. Tickets are available from the artists or online. Come out and support these young performers! All proceeds from the ticket sales go to the Performers and to support youth programs at Bragg Creek Centre.
