The Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery is prepping to host its second annual Heritage Day Hootenanny.

The event goes from 12-7 on Aug. 4, at the south end of Rotary Recreation Park, and inside the museum.

“We know affordability is a going concern within our community, so we are aiming to produce a multi-faceted, high quality, creative and cultural event that is free and fun for anyone to attend,” said Chandra Kastern, executive director.

“We’ve been busy planning for some great art making, live music performances, food trucks, museum tours and a whole area for children and families to explore.”

With the stage being hosted by Boots Graham, live music will be running throughout the afternoon through to the early evening with performances by:
