Well, the wheels are in motion, and we’re excited to announce that 2018 is an ON year for Wild Oats and Notes! Info on tickets and performers will be rolling out in good time, but for now plan to join us out on the farm from June 29th – July 1st!!!
We’re trying something different this year. Alpha Ya Ya Diallo has agreed to host an African Rhythms & Dance workshop the morning following his festival performance. So if you’re a drummer who wants to learn some new techniques — bring your drum. Or if you’ve always wanted to shake your moneymaker like an African dancer, drag it out of your tent and join us in the yard for an hour of cultural awakening. Absolutely free!!!
Saturday, July 2nd, 11:30 AM.
Even if you’re not from B.C., be prepared — Wild Oats & Notes is a cash only festival. Anyone who has attended the festival can attest to the fact cell phone service is dodgy and inconsistent throughout the site, so we’ve decided to remain Cash Only and minimize frustration levels for patrons and volunteers alike.
If you find yourself spending more than you planned (which can easily happen once you see our awesome food and merch options) there are ATM’s in Tofield, about a ten minute drive away.
Anyone who’s a fan of Tin & the Toad will not only love seeing the duo perform their Tweener set on Saturday evening, they’ll be ecstatic to hear the full band (and special guests?) will be cranking out tunes for the volunteer party Sunday afternoon. Volunteer, and you can enjoy the T&T experience while eating and drinking for free! Hot Damn!
Site prep is already underway, contact Jeanne Kallal for ideas on how to help! jaapjekallal1@hotmail.com

Wild Oats and Notes returns every two years to the Schultz farmstead in the Ketchamoot district, just south of Tofield, Alberta. Close to a thousand friends and relatives descend upon the yard in celebration of live music, agriculture, and all things rural. The festival is a non-profit venture that invests net proceeds into the local community in a number of ways.
Wild Oats and Notes cultivates a taste for live performances while embracing the values of rural living and respect for the land. It’s also a hell of a lot of fun.
