The day in motion
When the village
found its rhythm.
The first In the Woods Music Festival brought live music, family activities, food, and neighbours together on the SebaHub grounds.
The inaugural bill
Seven acts.
One field.
Scenes around the grounds
The field
in full.
Photographs in this field journal document the 2025 inaugural festival. They are memories of the first gathering, not announcements for the 2026 lineup.
People & play
Small adventures, easy conversation, and room to be a kid.
On stage
Drums, strings, guitars, and voices carried across the school field.
Food & field
Good food, favourite machines, and an open patch of Alberta summer.
Dancing & dusk
The crowd came closer, the light softened, and nobody hurried home.

What carried forward
It worked.
So we are doing it again.
The first festival proved that a school field, a strong bill, and a community ready to gather can become something worth returning to.
