Meet the Street partnering with Centrefest; artists announced

Red Deer’s annual Centrefest street performer festival is partnering up with a newer initiative launched by The City last year, Meet the Street, which saw new murals installed throughout the downtown.

“We’re excited to continue the momentum that the first Meet the Street brought to downtown Red Deer last summer, and we’re thrilled to partner with Centrefest on this year’s festival. Street performances are a natural fit with the creative energy of other Meet the Street components and we’re so happy to be working together,” said Bobby-Jo Stannard, Community Development Superintendent. “And, we’re looking forward to celebrating a new series of murals by talented artists that will further increase the beauty and vibrancy in the centre of our city.”

Meet the Street Arts & Culture Festival with Centrefest Street Performers Festival will take place September 3-4 in Parking Lot P4, City Hall Park, and on Ross Street, between 49 Avenue and 50 Avenue (“Little Gaetz”).

The event is free, and guests of all ages are welcome. Highlights include mural tours, live music, vendors, kids’ activities (including Circus World), plus the excitement of Centrefest street performances.
