Another one for the record! It was a beautiful weekend on the island. We appreciate all who came from faraway and from our community to make 2011 the best Stampede ever. And it would never have happened without the volunteer organizing committee, the local bands, our ballonist and kite flying friends, Bill Fenimore of the Wild Bird Center, the generous corportate sponsors and volunteers from throughout the community. And if this sounds like self-hype of the event, check out the superlatives that kite flyers from all over the country used to describe the venue, the experience, the co-stars, the school experiences and the event itself! It really was that fun! Check out the photos in the gallery (right), and review the media reports (click the link above). If you were there, you can relive the memories. If you didn't make it, you'll want to be sure to mark Labor Day on your 2012 calendar! The Antelope Island Stampede Come on out to the island for Labor Day weekend - Friday through Sunday. September 2-4, 2011! The events begin at 5PM on Friday. See the full schedule here. The cost is only $15 per carload (each day) to get onto the island, attend the concerts (bring your own chairs or blankets), see the kite and BMX demonstrations, watch the fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights, listen to the nearly-non-stop entertainment, and visit all other island events and venues. Don't miss it! Please remember, coolers are not allowed on the Stampede Grounds, and food, craft and activity vendors at the Stampede site will only accept cash. Kahuna Beach Party Friday Night, Sept 2nd, 7:00PM: Bring your beach balls, your beach/lawn chairs, your hula hoops and put zinc oxide on your nose! There is going to be a beach party of 60s proportions on the island! With a mix of music, comedy and audience participation, Kahuna Beach Party is the party band for you. This Beach Boys cover-band is so fun, that conga lines are known to have broken out spontaneously. Their fast-paced interactive show lets us relive the "boss" feeling of the sixties for a couple of hours. Kahuna Beach Party isn't just a band, it's an event! And you're invited. Your admission to the park of $15 per carload includes admission to the concert. See their promo video here The Diamond Experience Saturday Night, Sept 3rd, 7:30PM: It's The Diamond Experience, a tribute band covering Neil Diamond's favorites.   AND.... following both concerts, there are fireworks on White Rock Bay.   Kite & Bike Demonstrations See the amazing teams of iQuad and 5050 BMX put on some amazing shows and demonstrations throughout the Stampede!
