Punk fans in Alberta, get ready — Punksgiving is back for its second edition this Canadian Thanksgiving Sunday, October 12, 2025, at Bo’s Bar & Stage in Red Deer, Alberta. The annual celebration of punk rock and community spirit has unveiled its full lineup, promising a night of high-energy chaos, local talent, and pure DIY attitude.
Headlining this year’s edition are Calgary pop-punk veterans Chixdiggit, one of Canada’s most beloved punk exports. Known for their tongue-in-cheek humor, rapid-fire hooks, and unmatched live energy, Chixdiggit will be joined by an exciting roster of Alberta and Western Canadian acts, including Vargouille, Trashed Ambulance, The Offsailors, lushclot, Regal Foul, Duane Regretzky, and Fast Eddie.
Organizers describe Punksgiving as the ultimate alternative to traditional Thanksgiving plans — a night for those who’d rather be moshing with friends than stuck at family dinner. The event’s social media teases “turkey, cranberry sauce, and punk rock,” setting the tone for a night where gratitude meets grit.
Last year’s inaugural edition was praised for its intimate, community-driven atmosphere, and this follow-up looks to build on that with a mix of classic punk spirit and new blood. For Alberta’s tight-knit punk scene, it’s quickly becoming a must-attend annual event.
