Way Out West Fest is a celebration of the diverse culture and spirit of the modern West. Its mission is to produce an annual event that connects people through participation – embracing the community and lifestyle of the modern West. At its heart, they believe in the human connection to the West – the lifestyle, the stories, the adventure, the grit and attitude. They believe these attributes not only define, but connect us as a community. As humanity. They give us sense of place in the world, a place we can call our own and be proud of.
The events, which are held within Calgary and points west of the city, offer up a truly remarkable set of inclusive experiences of adventure and learning, sport, music, art, history, culinary, craft, in which participants can expect a healthy bit of Wild West tossed in. The intention is to guide and nurture participants to a taste of the West they might not have dreamed possible. Alberta offers the perfect combination of land, wildness, culture and characters that result in a place, and an identity, that is unlike any other in the world. Be part of this Festival, experience one or more events, and through it discover your West. Explore the Head West Market and participate in the Pure West Art & Artifact Auction. Allow it to permeate your bones, your soul and to shape your footprint. Let it define you and your future.
Way Out West Festival is a catalyst for connections with the land of the great West, while leaving as soft a footprint as possible. The Way Out West team strives to produce a festival that is innovatively sustainable. Whenever possible, printed goods and brand clothing are made of recyclable paper and organic materials. They work with food and drink partners and sponsors who use biodegradable food packaging and cutlery.
