Canadiana Fest 2025: Can-Am Peace Jam

April 1, 2025 by Amy Crabtree Campbell

It might be April 1, but this is no joke! Canadiana Fest and CN Rail present:

🍁 CAN-AM ☮️ PEACE ☮️ JAM! 9/20/25, Arcadia Creek in downtown Kalamazoo!

*FREE ADMISSION*

You read that right! (But we’ll gladly accept at-will donations at the door!)

Join us for friendship, fun, and of course, plenty of poutine! Our theme this year is to bring us together in peace and solidarity, as good neighbors. Come celebrate the founding cultures of Canada, and experience our First Nations, French, and British Commonwealth heritage together and have a hella kitchen party!

What’s a kitchen party? Well, we’re glad you asked:

Definition: CANADIAN ENGLISH: kitchen party (noun) · kitchen parties (plural noun)

A warm and welcoming social gathering with music and dancing, especially in Newfoundland and the Maritime Province, typically held in a person’s home, or in this case, our “backyard” of Kalamazoo at the Arcadia Creek Festival Site!

Follow our socials for details as they happen! The event page on Facebook can be found here!

Musical Spotlight – Rock Rx!

September 2, 2024 by Amy Crabtree Campbell

Kalamazoo’s favorite cover band Rock Rx is kicking off our evening lineup! Rock Rx splashed onto the Kalamazoo music scene in early 2019. Rock Rx truly is your “rock prescription”.

The band was started by a drug dealer (a legal one, in the pharmaceutical business)—Quentin Hunt. Quentin, on lead guitar, is joined by Daniel and Kirsten Jassim on lead vocals and keyboards, Shannon Ashmus on bass, and Steven “Ziggy” Zeigler on drums.

They make the audience feel like they are part of the band…..literally. Don’t be surprised if you have  a mic in your face during the show, as you sing along to one of your favorite  songs. 

We’ve seen their set list for the Fest, and it’s all Canadian artists! Come check them out, as a fun time is a straight up guarantee!
