From 1981 to 2025, the Cripple Creek Music Festival is going strong into its 44th year, always held on the fourth Sunday in July on the same beautiful private property donated by Annie Wiebe just south of Morden.
The 2025 Musical Lineup
There's a good mix of familiar faces and fresh acts taking the stage this Sunday (July 27th) at Cripple Creek, check out the list below!
Good Eats
Art Wiebe has been with the Cripple Creek Music Festival for its entire 44-year run and stopped by to share all the details, including the food options on-site, "We have a great food booth. The Winkler Bunker has been looking after it now for the last six years. It'll be very similar to last year, they had, pulled pork, hamburgers and if you want onions, you gotta request it, otherwise you get a burger without onions... and they have french-fries and ice cream. You're also welcome to bring your own food. But when those onions start frying on the grill, it sure gets that appetite going.
and Sunny Day donates the sunflower seeds!"
Getting to the venue
Art also broke down how to get to the Cripple Creek venue, again, the same venue for the past 44 years which has been graciously donated by Annie Wiebe since concert one,
"If you're in the Morden area, the first gravel road that comes out of Morden to the east. It's Road 27 West, it's 6 1/2 miles South and it's about a mile and a half South of the Glen Cross church. If you're in the Winkler area, then it's straight South on highway 32, a total of 7 miles and then you take Highway 201, that's paved for three miles and then you have 3 1/2 miles of gravel and then you're on our site. But there are signs along the way, so you can't miss it!"

Reminders!
Art also passed along some friendly reminders, "We just have some stipulations, we don't allow umbrellas, pets, smoking, vaping, alcohol or recording the music in the concert area. We're a chemical free festival.
We do remind people to bring along their lawn chairs, sunscreen and mosquito spray if needed."
Cost to attend?
FREE!
"We definitely give you an opportunity to donate. To put on a festival like this takes around $6000 and that includes the honorarium, a very modest honorarium that we pay to the performers and all the other expenses with mowing and hydro and so on and so forth. So we always welcome donations."
