The event has grown into a full-scale music festival raising funds and awareness for ALS research, with over $860,000 raised for the ALS Society of Alberta.

Organizers said every dollar raised goes to help fund vital research, care and support for those affected by ALS.

“Ticket sales are strong, and it’s shaping up to be an amazing weekend,” says Trevor Biemans, co-founder of Quonset Days and son of Peter Biemans.

“We’ve come a long way in 15 years, and we’d love nothing more than to break the $1 million mark on this anniversary,” he added.

“It’s a milestone that would mean the world to our family and everyone who’s been part of this journey.”

During the two nights of music, food and beverages will be available on site, and a free shuttle service available from Medicine Hat.

Tickets are still available for purchase through quonsetdays.com.
