Tickets

While the Festival Discovery Pass is the recommended way to experience the overall festival, we realize not everyone has the chance to attend all four days. As such there are a limited amount of advance tickets available for select shows throughout the festival. Walk-up tickets will also be released at the doors in advance of each show.

Olympic Plaza

Every summer Sled Island takes over at Olympic Plaza to create a music lover's paradise in the middle of downtown Calgary. Festival headliners perform on the main outdoor stage to a crowd of joyous fans at this city-supported event. Olympic Plaza is a licensed event featuring an outdoor beer garden, food trucks and community vendors. Olympic Plaza is welcome to all-ages, kids 12 and under get in free!
