🎉 BIG NEWS FOR HOPE BRIGADE DAYS 2026! 🎉

At the end of Brigade Days 2025, we asked our guests what they loved most and what we could do better. You answered. We listened.

And we're excited to announce some major upgrades that will help make Hope Brigade Days 2026 our best festival yet!

🎸 FINGER ELEVEN IS COMING TO HOPE!

We're thrilled to welcome Canadian rock legends Finger Eleven as our Saturday night headliner. This may be the biggest concert act in Brigade Days history, and we can't wait to see the Entertainment Bowl rocking on September 12!

🍻 The Ken James Rip Off Saloon is Getting Bigger

We've expanded the Saloon and are adding even more live music throughout the weekend, giving guests more room to relax, enjoy a beverage, and take in the entertainment.

🍔 Food Truck Alley Upgrades

We've added more seating throughout Food Truck Alley, making it easier to kick back and enjoy all your favourite festival eats.

🚚 Food Delivery to the Saloon

One of our most requested additions is becoming a reality! Participating Food Truck Alley vendors will be offering food delivery directly into the Ken James Rip Off Saloon.

🎡 More Midway Fun

Shooting Star Amusements is expanding their offering with additional rides and entertainment for guests of all ages.

🚌 NEW SHUTTLE SERVICE

One of the biggest pieces of feedback we received was parking and transportation.

We're excited to introduce a new shuttle service connecting:

📍 Downtown Hope

📍 Kawkawa Lake

📍 Silver Creek

Shuttles will run hourly to all stops throughout the weekend.

We've also added a new overflow parking area at CE Barry School with shuttle service every 30 minutes to help make getting to and from the festival easier than ever.

💜 These improvements are just the beginning. Thank you to everyone who completed our survey and shared their ideas. Your feedback is helping shape the future of Brigade Days.

Stay tuned—there are still more exciting announcements to come!
