THE SWAMP SWARMWillow Island: Time TBA
The mysterious Swamp Swarm returns to the island to creep and crawl amongst festival goers. Who are they? No body knows, but they seem to grow slimier every year.... Rising from the green waters of Wascana, the swamp swarm seek to join their friends of the plant, animal, microbial, fungal and human realms! Together they’ll reveal what mere festival going mortals cannot see. They’ll surprise and delight you with merry tricks and quirks! Take them by their swampy paws… ultimate adventure and wild abandon await! (The swamp swarm welcomes children of all ages to join in on the fun! Kids are invited to join in on the fun! Times will be announced.)

Accompanied by original beats, by Nate Doucette of the Fiver Trois. Bring your A-game and your best pair of galoshes to impress TAB and win some Swampy Swag! 
EUKARYOTIC INTELLIGENCE MASHUPClaire Amundsen and Jam's Germs (James Weiss)
The Cure: Saturday 9pm - late Willow Island: Sunday - Sundown This compilation includes microbes in action and algae in their wonderment, demonstrations of unconscious cells gathering and symbiotic in bodies, explorers hunting for answers, TAB in communicating and our intuition about their formation. James Weiss got lost in life and found his passion in pond scum. He is the author of The Hidden Beauty of the Microscopic World, the star of the Academy Award–qualifying short film A Body Called Life, and the videographer behind the acclaimed YouTube series Journey to the Microcosmos. Through his lens and words, James opens up a hidden, poetic universe teeming with tiny creatures that shape the world we know. His work makes the microscopic feel both wondrous and strangely familiar, like finding yourself reflected in a ciliate’s shimmer. patreon.com/jam_and_germs @jam_and_germs youtube.com/@JamsGerms 
PULSE PORTALSCBlaire (Claire Amundsen and Blair Hornung)
Willow Island: Sundown, Saturday & Sunday Be drawn by rhymes through portals of light to feel the pulse of the swamp. They'll light your way with an eye to scope a way past the lump. Oh wait! Was that TAB?! Could it be? Their quirky island illuminations will transport and transform you. Or is it the swamp that's talking? What do you take? What do you leave behind?" |
SWAMP CARNIVAL
Willow Island - Saturday & Sunday: 3 - 6pm
A thriving carnival has emerged from the ripe ecosystem of Willow Island. Its intelligence grows with tendrils of fun, abundance, skill, and ambition - cultural capital galore! As games are played, kids young and old realize their curiosity, creativity and gusto are worth more than the TAB tokens to play or the carrot bucks they win and redeem for prizes. Bring your swamp bling (necklaces from years past, if you held onto it) or be rewarded with a new stylish string to adorn with the latest in swamp accessories.
