The ENMAX Centre and the City of Lethbridge are excited to announce a never-before-seen event for the community, Thunder in the Bridge.
The outdoor music festival is curated for the people who have attended and supported the ENMAX Centre over the facility’s 50-year history.
“What better way is there to celebrate 50 years of memorable community events than giving people the opportunity to create more?” said Jennifer Norsworthy, Acting General Manager, ENMAX Centre. “It’s an incredible way for the community to come together, enjoy some great music and food and build on the 50 years of memorable experiences people have created here with us.”
The festival will take place in the east parking lot at the Sportsplex from September 6 to 7 with so much for festival goers to celebrate, see and do. Games, giveaways, food and drinks, local artists and bands plus major headliners will close out each evening of this golden milestone event.
