Description
GATES OPEN AT 11:00 AM ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH.
CELEBRATING 5 YEARS!
Wake the Giant Music Festival will return to the Thunder Bay waterfront this September with one epic Birthday bash! The world-class event that celebrates inclusivity and Indigenous culture hits the stage on Saturday, September 14th. Canadian rockers the Arkells, world-renowned DJ Galantis, and Indie pop band Walk Off the Earth, are set to headline the 2024 event, joined by DJ Shub Presents War Club Live, Coleman Hell, Chester Knight, Ira Johnson Band, Thunder Spirit along with a mystery afternoon headliner. Wake the Giant is also stoked to have Drives the Common Man join this year’s list of performers, presented by the Downie Wenjack Fund.
Festival goers can expect a ton to do with a live art installation, cultural experiences, yummy local eats (you have to try the bannock tacos) and an Indigenous Craft Market. This is a family-friendly event that includes a Kids Zone just for your littles! Children 11 and under are free but still require a general admission ticket by selecting the option below.
Tickets will be sold in a supply-based tiered structure, meaning the price goes up per tier (if you snooze you lose). If a tier sells out the next tier of tickets will be available to purchase the following business day. Once the final tier sells out, tickets will no longer be available online or at the gate.
Children 11 and under are free but still require a general admission ticket by selecting the options below. All guests in VIP require a full-price ticket.
Wake the Giant is an alcohol-free event.
Wake the Giant is a movement that was created in 2019 to provide the Thunder Bay community with awareness and tools to better respond to racism and help celebrate the enduring cultural diversity of Indigenous Peoples. It is a volunteer-led initiative. All funding raised from the music festival supports Indigenous youth who are high school students from remote First Nation communities, which includes orientation events, workshops and the transition to life in the city.
