Jun 3, 2024 | 10:59 AM

An annual country music festival in Seven Persons known for raising money for ALS research is returning for a 13th year.

Quonset Days is back on July 19-20 to raise funds for the ALS Society of Alberta. It’s raised over $650,000 since 2010.

Held on the Biemans farm, southwest of Seven Persons, Alberta, the event sees over 1,200 attendees through the beer garden gates each night.

Trevor Biemans, co-founder of the festival and son of Peter Biemans, said it’s touching to see how the festival has grown since his was impacted by ALS.

“It’s truly heartwarming to see my farm yard transformed into music festival grounds, all in honor of my dad,” Biemans said.
