On July 9, 2006 fourteen female singer/songwriters took the stage at Muskoseepi Park to deliver Grande Prairie’s own mini Lilith Fair. The age of the performers spanned more than four decades with many musical styles represented. A beautiful energy surrounded the event and the women vowed to continue it as a means of offering support and opportunity to one another. On January 26, 2007 these women united to perform a sell out show at Second Street Theatre.

On August 19, 2007, some of the women as well as a few new faces will be taking the stage at Muskoseepi Park once again for a free concert. The line up will include: Jamie Arsenault, Tamsyn Freeman, Threza Schlenkrich, JoAnn Wells, Shannon Ingersoll, Renee' Golemba, Megan Houle, Pamela Pachal and the DandyLionesses. Come and join us in the amphitheatre from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.
On July 9, 2008 we hosted another park concert and this year included some fantastic new musicians along with some of our original crew. New participants this year included Lavonne Gladstone and Ashley Rae, both promising Peace Country recording artists.
