The fore­run­ner to mod­ern-day film, Crankies com­bine music, spo­ken word and visu­al arts into a sin­gu­lar form that has expe­ri­enced a resur­gence thanks to the likes of fes­ti­val per­form­ers Anna & Eliz­a­beth, a Vir­ginia duo signed to Smith­son­ian Folk­ways, as well as Appalachi­an musi­cian Sue Truman.

This three day fes­ti­val fea­tures fam­i­ly-friend­ly inter­ac­tive ses­sions, work­shops and per­for­mances from locals Romi Mayes, Jess Reimer, Del Bar­ber and more.

Advance tick­ets range from $5 for a sin­gle day pass to $20 for evening con­certs and are avail­able now along with a com­plete fes­ti­val sched­ule at home​r​outes​.ca/​c​r​a​n​k​i​e​f​e​s​tival so don’t miss out on the fun at the First Annu­al Win­nipeg Crankie Fes­ti­val, run­ning Sep­tem­ber 21st to 23rd, proud­ly sup­port­ed by 101.5 UMFM.
