Purple City Music Festival
Purple City is an independent, volunteer-run all-ages music festival based in Edmonton, Alberta. We present three days of live music, panels, and public programming across downtown venues, with a focus on equity-seeking artists and communities. Our lineup features genre-pushing punk, experimental, psych, noise, and underground pop, alongside safer spaces initiatives, a free outdoor block party stage and a free-access industry conference built for access, not gatekeeping. We care deeply about involving and representing the communities we live in, and so collaboration with other community, music and heritage organizations is at the heart of our festival programming.
