About Swamp Fest:

Swamp Fest is dedicated to increasing the visibility of Regina's independent music and arts communities to a broad and diverse audience, while showcasing musical talent from across Canada, with a focus on the prairie provinces. Swamp Fest wholeheartedly believes in the power of shared experience to unite and strengthen relationships amongst diverse communities. Swamp fest employs no staff and is wholly volunteer run.
​
​Swamp Fest is committed to:
Picture
Supporting local and emerging artists, while attracting music lovers from across the country to the city of Regina;

Picture
Re-imagining community spaces as immersive, multi-sensory environments through collaboration with multidisciplinary artists;

Picture
 ​Strengthening connections across diverse communities via shared creative experiences;

Picture
Cultivating an inclusive and respectful environment where independent music may be enjoyed and appreciated by all!

Swamp Fest is further promoted through the evolving mythology of T.A.B. (Toxic Algae Blob) - our mascot and resident swamp creature from Wascana Lake. Through the open-ended development of TAB as a creative platform Swamp Fest encourages multiple forms of creative expression from diverse voices.

Safe Spaces:

Swamp Fest is committed to ensuring that festival attendees, volunteers, artists, organizers, and anyone that comes into our spaces are treated with respect and valued for being part of the festival. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive and supportive space for everyone, free from prejudice, discrimination, and harassment on any grounds. Our festival strives to ensure that anyone that makes others feel unsafe will be dealt with promptly and proactively. 

We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind against race, gender or gender expression, sexuality, ability, religion, age, economic status, ethnicity, immigration status, culture, or any other marginalized identity. We do not tolerate harassment of any kind, including inappropriate comments, unwelcome sexual attention, intimidation, stalking, or any physical contact without consent. 

​Swamp Fest was conceived in the summer of 2016 by a group of five Regina-based artists, musicians and small business owners. The group saw a need for a decidedly independent music festival that would add to the landscape of music events in the city.

​Registered as a not-for-profit in 2017, Swamp Fest is run by a volunteer, working Board of Directors, currently comprised of:
​
  •     Neil Adams
  •     Sunny Adams
  •     Hayley Leir 
  •     Jeff Meldrum
  •     Avery Mytopher
  •     Amber Phelps Bondaroff
  •     Kristy Zotsman​​

​
Tim Weisgarber, Amy Weisgarber, Wendy Peart, Amber Goodwyn, Lenore Maier, Reed Langen and Eric Hill

Big thank you to artists Zoë Schneider & Jon Vaughn for getting the lore and story of TAB going in 2017.

Swamp Fest is forever gracious to the many minds that have contributed creative energies, time, brain space and braun to the festival over the years! We are a community run festival that thrives only with the support of our beautiful and weird community.

Swamp Fest Loves you!  Stay Swampy! ​

Swamp Fest gratefully acknowledges the land on which we are privileged to share these experiences. Referred to as Treaty 4 Territory, Swamp Fest is hosted on the traditional lands of the Cree, Ojibwe, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. As a primarily settler-run festival, we acknowledge the original inhabitants of this land, the historic and ongoing harm that has been and continues to be done, while striving to cultivate deeper respect, understanding and care through our actions.
