The words and energy from our opening reception are still resonating. As Traditional Wolastoqewi Grand Chief spasaqsit possesom (Ron Tremblay) shared in his opening remarks, tattoos have always told the story of who we are - making this one of the most intimate and enduring art forms. Gallery Director Bernard Doucet reminded us that, unlike works created to hang on gallery walls, tattoos only exist when someone chooses to carry an artist’s work for life.

To see tattooing recognized inside the Beaverbrook Art Gallery was a milestone for our community. We are proud to witness tattooing gaining the recognition it deserves in the art world - celebrated not only for its history, meaning, beauty and skill, but also for the boundary-pushing creativity that continues to expand what’s possible.

Thank you to the @beaverbrook_ag team and @bngtattoosupply for hosting this special event, to spasaqsit possesom and Bernard for their inspiring words, and to all the artists, vendors, sponsors, performers, and staff who made our first event one to remember. Special thanks as well to @daltonrisktattoos and @nuclearcheerios for their live tattoo demos, @emknnedy for the beautiful music, and to @kellybakerphoto_film for capturing it all so beautifully.

🚨🚨🚨 It’s the moment we’ve been waiting for! 300 early access passes are up for grabs online - head to the link in our bio to get yours before they’re gone! And… stay tuned tomorrow for a massive giveaway 🤫

What’s an early access pass? These special weekend passes give you access to the Festival at 11am: 1 hour before general admission opens, for the absolute best chance to get in early with your favourite artist.

The best part? Even those at the end of the early access pass lineup are guaranteed to get in right away, so no need to show up hours in advance!

Want to wait and pay at the door? General admission starts at 12pm on Saturday, and there will be plenty of walk-up availability left (not to mention some great entertainment and our Halfcut beer garden). It just might take a longer to get in, and some artists might fill up early.

Buy your tickets and learn more at www.capcitytattoo.ca

📣 Advance ticket sales start today at 5pm - and here’s what you need to know. More questions? Drop them in the comments!

➡ What’s an early access pass?

A maximum of 300 early access ticket holders will get priority entry to the Festival from 11am-12pm on Saturday 6 June, 1 hour before door ticket sales start at 12. These tickets are your best chance to get in early with your favourite artist!

➡ If I don’t buy an early access pass, is there any point in lining up?

Yes! With 45 walk-up artists tattooing over 20 hours, we conservatively estimate there will be around 600 tattoos done at Cap City - so there will be lots of spots available for those buying tickets at the door! Once general admission starts, there may be a bit of a wait depending on where you are in line, as entry will be first-come first-serve and subject to room capacity.

➡ What’s included with my pass?

Passholders have unlimited access to Cap City and the @Halfcutbrewing Beer Garden, as well as free entry to the official afterparty at @thecaplive. Enjoy our full lineup of live music, workshops at the @Beaverbrook_ag, Cap City Marketplace, and a range of deals and discounts at @downtown_fredericton businesses!

➡ What if I don’t want a tattoo?

Come on out for the music, shopping, entertainment and to see some incredible art! We expect the biggest crowd right at the start, so if you want to avoid a wait we recommend coming a bit later.

➡ Do I need a ticket for the Cap City market?

Nope! Head on upstairs to the Junior Ballroom for our Cap City marketplace - it’s free and open to the public, no ticket required!

➡ Can I bring my kids?

Yes! Entry is free with a parent or guardian for kids 14 years old and under.
