Tongue On The Post Festival on Social Media

Tongue on the Post Festival celebrates 20 seasons of excellent music—and no frozen tongues.

It's the middle of winter but there is a beat in the air, drawing you towards the old pottery factory in the heart of Medicine Hat. It's the annual Tongue on the Post Music Festival where it may be chilly on the outside but inside the historic Medalta Potteries the music heats up the old kilns and festival-goers. 

Through a week of events in late January, the Medicine Hat Folk Music Club hosts over 50 shows at Medalta Potteries and throughout the city at various coffee shops, pubs and bistros. Music lovers are encouraged to buy tickets for the annual Supper and Song Gala, the Singer Songwriter Event and the main event, the Saturday Evening Gala.
