(May 16, 2017 - Calgary, AB) The Sled Island Music & Arts Festival is thrilled to announce almost 200 new additions to its lineup of 2017 artists.
The annual festival sets itself apart by presenting a thoughtfully-chosen lineup of music, comedy, film and art in more than 35 venues throughout Calgary, Alberta each June. This year's festival takes place from June 21 - 25, 2017.
