TELUS Country Fever

The Reel Short Films Festival
Our film festival celebrates short films and the filmmakers who make them, thus creating a fertile environment in which Peace Region filmmakers are inspired to grow and develop. We are a production of Grande Prairie Live Theatre, one of Canada's largest nonprofit community theatres. Our first film festival took place March 23-25, 2007 and we enjoyed tremendous feedback from everyone involved. We hope to continue that success by following the same goals as we did for the first one

Summer Slam

What began as a small slo-pitch tournament has become one of Grande Prairie's premiere summer events. Summerslam sees teams from across Alberta and British Columbia come to slug-it-out at the tournament during the day, while some of Canada's biggest bands perform at night. 2006's performers included David Wilcox, Theory of a Deadman, Stabilo, Our Lady Peace, Matt Mayes and El Torpedo and Blue Rodeo.
