More Than a Concert

Bringing the Nation is a three day initiative of CIVIQ Labs celebrating the role of music and the arts in strengthening Canadian communities.

Taking place November 13–15 across downtown Edmonton, the festival brings together exceptional Canadian musicians, artists, and audiences for a weekend of performances, community gatherings, and celebrations.

At a time when conversations about Canada’s future, identity, and cultural sovereignty are increasingly important, Bringing the Nation brings people together through the universal language of music.
