Calgarians will get one last chance to dance the summer way, local style, as the first ever Eastern Slopes Music and Arts Festival kicks off in Bridgeland at the end of August.

The festival, which celebrates some of the best local bands and musicians currently creating music in Calgary and in Alberta, was the brainchild of a quartet of artists and communicators in the music community: Tory Rosso, Hannah Unterschultz, Meghan McMaster, and Ian St. Arnaud.
