50 Years of Blue Skies

Blue Skies 50th Anniversary logo

Is it a semi-centennial? Or a demi-centennial? Or maybe a hemi-centennial?

Whatever it is, it’s Blue Skies 50 and it’s coming up fast. In 2023 we’ll be celebrating 50 years of Blue Skies and we’re not going to let that slip by quietly. Time to raise a hoopla.

New 50 Years book and film

We’re talking about a Blue Skies 50th book and, if circumstances allow, a new Blue Skies film. A few other notions have been bounced around too. If we’re going to make this all happen, we’ll need your help. We need your memories, stories, works of art, photos, poems, random musings, energy, cha cha cha. In these bizarre times, wouldn’t it be nice to add a Blue Skies focus to your life?

Assistance

We need volunteers to assist with the various projects. If you have the time – and ideas – we’d love to have you join us on this wonderful project.

If you can help, have any submissions for the new book or want any further information, please e-mail them to: 50years@blueskiesmusicfestival.ca

Let’s get together and make the Blue Skies 50 shine!

Re-print of the 25th Anniversary book “Nothing But Blue Skies”

All Sold Out!

25th Anniversary Book CoverIf you didn’t get a Blue Skies 25th Anniversary book the first time, or if you want another copy, we have reprinted the original book ‘Nothing But Blue Skies’. With new printing methods, the photo reproduction is of a higher quality than the original printing.

It would make a great gift for someone you know who would love a copy!
