The first annual Southern Alberta Music Festival ROCKED!

"Great job Jason! You and your staff and all the volunteers did a great job. It was a fantastic event, can't wait for next year. We are so lucky to have businesses in this county that are willing to give us great events in our own backyard." - Linda Love

"Great campsite, awesome weekend, great show, looking forward to next year." - Bill Szabon

"Great first annual Southern Alberta Music Festival!! Great venue, organization & performers. Job well done" - Charlotte Watson


"On Saturday August 24, 2013, over 400 people enjoyed an entire day of Southern Alberta’s hottest live music at Aspen Crossing. This first annual music festival set out to celebrate southern Alberta music. The 13 talented artists and bands were from all over southern Alberta, from Medicine Hat to Langdon, from High River to Standard, and even right here in our own backyard in Vulcan. Of course we could not have put this all together without help. We would like to give a huge thanks to all our event partners, media sponsors, volunteers and musicians."
- Larry Vannatta, Musician from Milo, AB
