Flo Rida Props Spark Fallout at Sober Festival | Calgary News

Flo Rida’s surprise fake alcohol props at the Wake the Giant Music Festival in Thunder Bay sparked outrage among attendees — especially Indigenous youth and families who came for a sober, culturally grounded event. Organizers admitted fault, saying the props weren’t approved despite clear communication that it’s a dry festival. One six-year sober attendee called the moment triggering and said the apology fell short, but she still stands by the festival’s mission. Despite this stumble, she believes the organizers can grow from the experience and keep pushing forward to empower northern youth.
