One of Edmonton’s newer festivals is not all about trying to attract “the kids.”
In fact, the Creative Age Festival is completely about Edmonton’s boomers, retirees, and seniors.
Creative Age isn’t just for folks to check out events, but also provide the art and entertainment for the next week, because it “encourages seniors to become more involved in the arts—drama, music, visual arts, literary arts and dance.”
If you don’t happen to be “old enough” to really get full enjoyment out of Creative Age, you may know someone who is a little older. Point them in the direction of this unique Edmonton celebration.
It’s also awesome that Creative Age is running at the same time as NextFest. You’ve got Edmonton seniors celebrating the arts, or discovering talents in their older years, and NextFest showing off young stars and the creative youth of the city.
this is very cool. everyone tell your parents/grandparents about it.
