    Where were you in 2016? ⠀ ⠀ For the first time Where were you in 2016? ⠀ ⠀ For the first time ever, Nextfest moved to the southside of Edmonton after the Roxy on 124th Street fire. Nextfest took over Old Strathcona, Bonnie Doon Centre, and the French Quarter. Dancefest was inspired by the letter V (Verge, Voyage, & Velocity), and the SMUT Zoo was open to all who dared to enter the lion’s cage.⠀ ⠀ 2016 was also Steve Pirot’s last year with Nextfest. As he went on to work on other projects, Ellen Chorley stepped into the Festival Director role alongside Maggie Barton Baird, our Festival Producer.⠀ ⠀ The Roxy on Gateway (lovingly dubbed the Nextfest Clubhouse) became our home in 2016. Similar to our switch to online this year, 2016 was a time when the hearts of Nextfest came together to mourn and create, not knowing what the future of the festival would look like.⠀ ⠀ Thank you for helping us continue to create, no matter where we are. #tb #nxtfst #yeg #yegarts #yegtheatre #yegmemories
    Happy ???day! Here's another Nextfest #throwback.⠀ ⠀ Fast forward to 2009. The noughties were coming to an end but Nextfest was just getting started with the first-ever Rise Up Nite Club hitting the stage of The Artery. This year the festival ran from June 11th - 21st and we welcomed Murry Utas back for his second year as the Festival Manager alongside Steve Pirot. ⠀ For context: In 2009, The Black Eyed Peas' Boom Boom Pow ruled the summer and The Hangover had just come out in theaters. ⠀ ⠀ Nextfest is filled with hundreds of memories all being formed at once. We can't wait to make more memories with you this year even though the Roxy on Gateway is far away. #yeg #yegarts #nxtfst #tb #yegtheatre #yegmusic
    We were going to try to do a throwback Thursday, b We were going to try to do a throwback Thursday, but who even knows what day it is anymore? ⠀ ⠀ It's time for some nostalgia! Even though the first Nextfest was in 1996, the oldest photos we have in our archives are from 2002. In this year, Steve Pirot (Festival Director 2001-2016) had just expanded the festival from 6 to 11 days the year before. ⠀ ⠀ The Roxy on 124th was filled with a rebellious roar that can be heard in these pictures. ⠀ ⠀ Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles was top of the charts and the 124th street were a beautiful 21°C. ⠀ ⠀ We are so excited to bring this energy to Nextfest 2020. Are you ready?⠀ ⠀ 📸: unknown #yegarts #yeg #yeghistory #theroxy #nxtfst
