Thank You, CKUA Radio! 💙📻

South Country Fair would like to extend our sincere thanks to CKUA Radio for supporting this year's festival by helping us connect with music lovers across Alberta.

One of the things we admire most about CKUA is its commitment to musical discovery. Each year, CKUA showcases thousands of Canadian artists, including more than a thousand Alberta musicians, helping listeners uncover new favourites while supporting both emerging and established talent.

That passion for great music and community is something South Country Fair shares, and we're grateful for CKUA's support in helping festival fans discover everything our event has to offer.

As another festival season begins to wind down, there's still plenty of music left to explore. If you're missing the magic of live performances or looking to discover your next favourite artist, tune into CKUA. Their knowledgeable hosts, eclectic programming, and deep love of music make every day an opportunity to find something new.

Please join us in thanking CKUA Radio for supporting South Country Fair and for enriching Alberta's cultural landscape 365 days a year. 🎶
