MORE THAN A FESTIVAL
We created Rise Up to give local artists across Canada a chance to perform and get noticed. The Rise Up series reflects the full vision of the festival, bringing together diverse sounds and communities through three key aspects:
- Rise Up Urban (English artists)
- Rise Up French
- Rise Up International
