Swamp Fest

Swamp Fest is a community organized, multi-venue, independent music and arts festival founded in 2016. 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 the Western Canadian provinces. Swamp Fest wholeheartedly believes in the power of shared experience to unite and strengthen relationships amongst diverse communities.

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.

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.
