SUMMARY:Whitemud Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:2025 Whitemud Music Festival Press Release\nThe organizing committee is excited to announce the 3rd annual Whitemud Music Festival this August 22nd and 23rd in the Lansdowne Centennial Park in Arden Mb. It would be an understatement to say that the success of this community-minded event has been fantastic over the past two years\, and the host committee would like to thank everyone for their support\, and we look forward to seeing everyone again this August. With free camping included with your festival pass and yummy food trucks on site it will be a weekend to remember. \nAs in the past two festivals\, this year’s lineup has a little bit for everyone when it comes to the talented artists we have performing. The festival kicks off on Friday night at 7 with local musicians\, The Whitemud Blues Band followed by a Winnipeg band\, The Flesh Monkeys. Once again\, this year our final act to hit the stage on Friday night will be The B34st from Puerto Vallarta\, Mexico. Always a fan favorite\, the B34st puts on a high energy 3-hour set of tunes to help you party the night away. \nThe fun begins at noon on Saturday with Manitoba artists Mandy Ducharme & The Absolute B’s followed by a local Minnedosa performer Dan Lussier with his set of great country songs. Brandon’s J4K (Just 4 Kicks) hits the stage at 4 PM and then Winnipeg’s DB & the Deadbeats perform their blues/rock set of music for us. Three talented tribute acts are set to close out the festival Saturday night. First off is a Huey Lewis and the News tribute band called Hip 2B Square followed by Ramble Tamble performing your favorites CCR songs. To end this year’s festival there is a group of talented musicians called The Main Street Exiles who perform all the biggest hits by The Rolling Stones.  \nSomething new this year\, the host committee has decided to donate a portion of the proceeds to charity each year. We are pleased to announce that we have decided this year’s recipient will be Juvenile Diabetes.
