The Carrot Friday Nite Live presents Webb Dussome and Friends
I have been organizing a fundraising event at the Carrot for at least a decade (except covid years). I have known Christy for a long time, and always express my admiration for what she has been able to achieve on Alberta Avenue. This is not really a formal gig. It is more like a jam session between my family and friends.

The magic of Deep Freeze Festival is casting a spell on winter this January 18 and 19, 2025! Step into Alberta Avenue District for the Deep Freeze and embrace the spirit of "Barnyard Blitz!" Dive into Alberta’s agricultural roots with a community celebration like no other.
Deep Freeze Festival is proud to continue celebrating Ukrainian, French Canadian, Franco African, Indigenous (Métis, Inuit, Cree), Latin American and Asian cultures, which are all deeply woven into the fabric of Alberta Avenue District. As you wander through the festival, discover artistic creations, a homestead village, and musical celebrations that warm your heart and palette with music, art, and tasty delights. Take a trek through Pipon Village by trying on a pair of snow shoes, and sit around an open fire for bannock, mint tea, and cultural teachings. When you’re ready for a break from the great outdoors, follow the jovial sounds of a Ukrainian dance troupe to our Hearth Stage in the Alberta Avenue Community League.
Come celebrate the Olde New Year with light installations, ice sculptures, cultural stories, street hockey and our famous annual Deep Freezer races and other winter artistic panache.
This winter experience is only possible because of our hard-working team of staff and volunteers giving countless hours to our community and the continued support of the community and local businesses. Thank you to all our sponsors and partners for supporting Deep Freeze!

Sammy Volkov | December 13
With its release in 2022, Be Alright!, was the first album to debut at #1 on Alberta's CKUA Top 30 Chart. His duets album with Dana Wylie "The Day Had To Come" was in CKUA's Top 30 for 16 weeks. The Portland/Edmonton based singer has “...vocals that emanate…an air of melancholy. Roy Orbison, with a dash of Chris Isaak and a pinch of gospel-era Elvis Presley are the knee-jerk comparisons, as Volkov sings like a man out of time.” (The Edmonton Journal). He has shared stages with Mariel Buckley, Boy Golden, Del Barber, Frazey Ford, and recently appeared at the Edmonton and Calgary Folk Music Festivals.
