DOYLEFEST 2019 SEPTEMBER 6-8
Eagle Creek Regional Park (66 km West of Saskatoon)
Doylefest began in September 2014 as a birthday party, music-festival style celebration, on Eliza
Doyle’s land located outside of Saskatoon, near Asquith, SK. She has developed the birthday
celebration into an official music festival. Since 2014, it has continually grown, and is developing
into a major fundraiser platform that serves to bring music lessons and instruments to under-served
communities in Saskatchewan.
Since working with the community of Stanley Mission, SK (located 485 km North of Saskatoon)
for 5-weeks in January 2019, Doyle is developing a community music program called CAMP, (Cultural
Arts Mentorship Programming). She was awarded a grant from the Saskatchewan Arts
Board that will see a full-year Musician in Residency Program operated in Stanley Mission, as
well as awarded a grant from TD MusiCounts for the purchase of musical instruments. The program
focuses on engaging participants in music lessons, and building local capacity through
mentoring community members to job-shadow the program facilitators. Upon completion, the
goal will be to have the program run by local community members. September 2019 - September
2020 will be the first full year running, with a new start-up in Pinehouse SK in January
2020. Doyle is partnering with The Cultural Exchange Society in Regina, which is acting as the
non-profit for her efforts, as well as a major funder.
This year, A new partnership with the Eagle Creek Regional Park is seeing the festival moved to a fully serviced campground with amenities such as washrooms and showers, a concession stand, disc golf, mini-golf and 9-Hole golf, children’s area, walking trails, electrical and non-electrical camp spots, and space available for your horses if you choose to ride there!
