The Wednesday Socials Outdoor Concert Series is regularly voted one of Fernie’s favourite events, the Wednesday Socials are outdoor fun for the whole family.

Opening the evening is local duo Tailgator. Tailgator is an alternative folk duo by Logan Plessis and Linden Gigliotti, blending traditional folk, bluegrass, and blues with modern influences. They’ve been performing across BC and Alberta and are preparing their debut EP for summer 2025. Inspired by artists like John Prine and Dallas Green, their music aims to evoke emotion and thought without being confined by genre
.
The Headliner will be Rising indie-folk artist Daniel James McFadyen. McFadyen has sold out major venues across Canada, including Toronto’s Great Hall and Halifax’s Marquee Ballroom, drawing audiences in with his engaging, story-driven shows. His 2023 EP Songs to Show Your Friends, produced by Quinn Bachand, marked a move from his folk roots to more melodic, introspective songwriting.

Enjoy a sizzling summer of live music, food trucks and good times in downtown Fernie with seven weeks of free concerts popping up each week on Wednesday’s in Station Square.
