It’s been a month since the 2026 Expanse Festival It’s been a month since the 2026 Expanse Festival wrapped, and we’re still holding onto the energy, the artistry, and the unforgettable moments we shared together. From bold new works to late-night conversations this year’s festival reminded us why we gather. To witness. To connect. To celebrate the spaces in between. Thank you to the artists, audiences, partners, and community who made it all possible. We can’t wait to do it all again! #ExpanseFestival #YEGArts #YEGFestivals Photography by @marctivist Videos by @janice.saxon Featuring moments from the 2026 Expanse Festival
