Sled Island

Kick off the new year with Sled Dogs!

In support of our year-end fundraising initiatives, we’ve gathered some of our favourite furry friends to create a 2026 calendar for all the Sled goers and dog lovers!

Purchase your copy today!

Sled Island is a registered charity, and all proceeds will be directly invested in the production of the 2026 festival, and our year-round efforts to foster a more inclusive and accessible music and arts community.

Pick-up and shipping options within Canada are available. For more information and to purchase your calendar, visit Showpass.com/Sled-Island-Merch.

The CJSW x Sled Island Halloween Bash is back on Friday, October 31 at the #1 Royal Canadian Legion! You Wouldn't Download a Party, but you would attend one, especially when it's the best Halloween Party in the city!

Join us as we celebrate CJSW's 2025 Play / Connect / Discover Funding Drive with some of the best bands in the city covering Y2K songs, a video dance party, a drag show, and a costume contest with the winner announced at midnight. Bring your best for your chance to win some great swag!

CJSW has once again collaborated with Last Best to produce a special brew to celebrate this year's Funding Drive season and theme — The Radio Wave hazy pilsner — with a portion of the proceeds from each beer sold going to CJSW. Last Best is the proud sponsor of this party, so make sure to give them some love at their Beltline location.

Taking the stage we’ve got PERRA, Iron Tusk, Dial Up, Rebel Grrrlz, Pøltergeist, Window Lamp Corp., Parisian Orgy, WACK, Thee Canadian Dispatch, Friends First, the CJSW Family Band and the Evan Wilson Experience!

New this year, we’ve also got a killer drag show hosted by Joanie Sabbath and Divina Diefor, featuring performances from Valerie Hunt and Ofelia Vidal!
