INTERSTELLAR RODEO’S FREE 2016 FESTIVAL APP IS AVAILABLE NOW. APP FEATURES THIS YEAR’S WINE PAIRINGS AND FOOD TRUCK DETAILS.

TICKETS FOR THE OFFICIAL “AFTER INTERSTELLAR” PARTY FEATURING DUOTANG + DJ CO-OP ON SALE TODAY.

Interstellar Rodeo’s official guide to the 2016 festival is now available for free for all Apple and Android devices. The iRodeo App offers all the details about this year’s wine pairings, curated by Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson, the many new and returning food vendors, as well as site information, FAQs, festival policies and more. The App also introduces this year’s beer selections, expertly brewed by Winnipeg’s Half Pints Brewing Co. Look for this icon in Apple or Google Play App stores.

Here’s a sample of what’s in store for app users: MacPhee-Sigurdson’s pairing for Margo Price, a breakout country star who makes her Winnipeg debut on the Interstellar stage.

As a paperless program, the free app is part of Interstellar Rodeo’s efforts to reduce the festival’s environmental footprint. On this front, Interstellar Rodeo announces a new eco initiative – festival crew, artists, and backstage hospitality will be provided with refillable bottles this year in an effort to dramatically reduce the use of plastic water bottles. This is a significant first step in decreasing our overall environmental impact.

Audiences are also encouraged to bring their own refillable bottles, as there will be plenty of free water stations throughout the site.

Also new this year will be AFTER INTERSTELLAR, an official festival after-party happening 10pm-2am on Saturday, August 13 in the newly renovated Food Hall at The Forks Market. There will be wine and food samplings and performances by Duotang and DJ Co-Op. After Interstellar is presented by Winnipeg Wine Cru. For tickets, visit www.interstellarrodeo.com. Tickets are available to the general public, but #iRodeoWPG weekend pass holders receive a 20% discount.
