Feathered Away
I am a self taught Indigenous designer born and raised in the Edmonton (Treaty 6) area. I was adopted at a young age from the foster care system and had the privilege to learn and connect through Powwow dancing and cultural activities. Throughout my life I have fallen in and out of cultural connection straddling two worlds and navigating life in a way that made me feel isolated. With the birth of my son I have found my love and connection through creating beadwork, ribbon work and upcycled design. My art has helped me learn, grow and reconnect with my roots. Feathered Away is my heart and soul and has allowed me to share my creativity with the rest of the world.

Thank you for wanting to get a private tent with us! We are sold out for 2022 and would love to speak with you for our June 2023 Festival!
Our Cabana Tents provide space for 12 adults (plus the kids that are coming with them) and are located in their own area. The Cabana Tents have a bar and porta-potties shared with the other Cabanas, and are fenced from the main area of the Festival.
And yes, you can put your banner on the fence to help promote your business/association/group!
We will post here on the website and on our social media when we open for 2023!
WHAT CAN I BRING?
Small Coolers with Snacks
You are allowed to bring small coolers with snacks, and sealed unopened bottled non-alcoholic beverages. These will be checked by our Front Gate professional security. All unsealed bottles containing liquids will be emptied at the gate.
Empty Refillable Water Bottle
We will have a water station on-site for filling your empty, refillable water bottle.
Low Back Chairs
Low back, short leg seating is preferred. If mobility requires standard portable chair height, please position your seating where your chair will not interfere with other guest’s views of the stage.
Blankets & Tarps
Be courteous and take the space that you need, and prep for cooler evenings with an extra blanket.
Rain Gear & SMALL Umbrellas
Rain slickers/coats & hats, and small umbrellas. And yes, tarps!!
Sunscreen & Bug Spray
Bring your own sunscreen and bug spray, and if you forget we will have some for sale at the Merch Tent.
Service Animals Only
Our Festival grounds are a “no animal” zone for everyone’s safety, plus take into serious consideration if a music festival really is the best place for your animal to be at. There are many children running around, the grounds are crowded and the music is loud! Leave your pets at home.
Fully trained service animals that are in service for physical elements only – such as seeing eye dogs – will be considered for entry, and their Gov’t of AB ID certificate, plus official vest plus lead, must be provided.
Emotional support animals do not come under this classification of physical service to their humans and will not be allowed entry.
Check with us in advance via direct message on our socials or via our email (top right corner here on the website) to confirm if your service animal qualifies.
DO NOT BRING ANY OF THESE
Do expect bags and small coolers to be searched, and potentially receive a pat down at the Front Gate from professional security, so if you are looking to bring in anything that could be an issue, please take it back to your car before entering the grounds.
No Glass
No glass containers except for baby food.
No Pets or Animals
We are a family friendly Festival and there are lots of kids running around and our Festival grounds are crowded, so for everyone’s comfort and safety – including our animals – please leave your pets at home.
Please see our “What Can I Bring” section regarding Service Animals.
No alcohol or smokable/edible cannabis products; no non-prescription recreational/illegal drugs.
• No outside alcohol is allowed to be brought into the Festival grounds. If any is found in your bags or on your person as you enter the gates, it will be emptied/confiscated at the gate.
• No cannabis products, prescription and non-prescription alike (as pursuant City of Beaumont bylaws)
• No non-prescription recreational/illegal drugs.
No Open and Unsealed Beverage Containers
Any open and unsealed bottle or other beverage containers of any kind will be emptied out at the gate.
NO PROFESSIONAL CAMERAS OR AUDIO/VIDEO RECORDING EQUIPMENT
Any professional AV equipment seen being used in the audience will be confiscated.
No drones, laser pointers, fireworks or weapons
Drones fall under the same category as professional AV equipment, and the park is a no-fly zone. Even if you are Gandalf, you must leave your wizard staff at home!
No golf or beach umbrellas
If you can fit three to four people under it, it’s too big. Leave the golf and beach umbrellas at home please.
