Sappy Day 3! They say all good things come in threes. A full and energizing program for our third and final day together, growing and evolving, figuring it out as we go!
Our sweet friends at the Sackville United Church are throwing their doors open wide for a Pancake Breakfast from 9:00 - 11:00 am! Free for all. Share in food and community!
Head to the Chester Cole Memorial Ball Field for 11:30 am High Integrity Interval Training. Hustle for the muscle with Aquakultre, Fiver and Nathan Doucet. Original electronic music. Work out, or just stand or sit and drink Gatorade for free. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, a towel or yoga mat, a hat, sunglasses, and your chronic injuries. Suitable for all people!
Join Special Costello for the second installment of the Surround Sound Kiosk at Waterfowl Park off of Weldon Street from 10 am - 1 pm, generously presented by Struts Gallery. Speaking of Struts, exhibitions are on all day! Over and Over returns. Visit from 12-5 pm.
Drop in at the Owens Art Gallery anytime from 1-5 pm to browse their selection of Sappyfest-themed zines from their Teeny Tiny Zine Library, featuring local artists and Sappy dreamers.
Doors open at the main stage at 1:00 pm. Universal Dawn, our annual literary and exhibition series, starts at 1:30, featuring works by Freddy Smith, Jenna Lyn Albert and Sophia Lawrence. Poems and art can make many things happen. Come see for yourself!
At 2:50 pm, Écarlate Musique moves us with their heartfelt lyrics. Then, Piner, wanderer and old soul, helps us connect to the greater human experience.
The tent closes at 4:30, giving you another chance to peruse goods, wares and delicious food from our fantastic vendors at the Sappy Street Market. Then, make sure to hit Bill Johnstone Memorial Park and join in a collective project of singing with Love Songs to End Colonization, repurposing popular love songs to dismantle settler colonialism.
The Bridge Street tent opens back up at 7:00 pm. Caged Animals puts us underneath their spell. XIA-3 bring the house down with a post-rock meets guzheng performance. Witch Prophet offers us a trip-hop soundscape like no other. Aquakultre shows us a good time while standing for his truth and his community.
The tent closes up at midnight, but don’t fret: before you all wander back, see Julie Doiron with Special Guess at the Sackville Legion for an incredible show to wrap up the festival. One last hurrah! We’ll race you there!
