MEDIA RELEASE

East Town, Get Down Independent Music and Food Festival is back!
Saturday, May 28th Festival kicks off summer with an international flare.
Calgary, AB…. After a two-year hiatus, the East Town Get Down Independent Music and Food Festival is back!  The festival happens Saturday, May 28 from 7 p.m. to midnight on International Avenue – Calgary’s Culinary and Cultural District. East Town is unique in the way it brings together and celebrates Calgary’s thriving independent music scene with the dynamic (and delicious) international flavour of 17th Avenue SE.
East Town Get Down happens along a six-blocks of International Avenue and area. Inspired by festivals like SXSW, you’ll find performances in a fun range of intimate and unlikely venues including small ethnic bistros, a bowling alley, and beautiful Unity Park.
Of course, INTL AVE’s amazing international restaurants are a big part of the unique “flavour” of this event. Dubbed “East Town Chow Down” festival goers can once again enjoy $5 dollar food plates at the various venues and enjoy tasty international cuisine from a variety of cultures.

Land Acknowledgement
East Town Get Down acknowledges that our festival takes place on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot people of the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations and the Blackfeet Nation south of the US/Canadian imposed border). In 1877 Treaty 7 was signed, which includes in its area the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut'ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). This City of Calgary is also home to Metis, Inuit and visiting Indigenous Nations, status and non-status.
We value the contributions that members of the Blackfoot Confederacy, and members of all Indigenous Nations continue to make, particularly in the area of music which is the focus of East Town Get Down, increasing the richness of our community for all.
