The Radway Agricultural Society owns and runs the Radway Agricentre, a combined arena and community hall in the hamlet of Radway, about 70 kilometres northeast of Edmonton in Thorhild County. The Agricentre’s arena, hall, kitchen, and concession booth host everything from weddings, funerals, and grad parties to fundraisers and three music festivals a year, all organized by the volunteer-run society.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the Agricentre, so festival goers, wedding guests, and volunteers running the kitchen or concession can get online without relying on the hamlet’s limited cell coverage. It is one of several MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Thorhild County, alongside the Egremont Community Club and the venues in the Hamlet of Thorhild, and all of them use the same network name and password.
Where: 5108 51 Street, Radway, Alberta.
Use these steps to connect at Radway Ag Society. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.

Can’t see the network? Check that Wi-Fi is turned on and ask venue staff where the hotspot is available.
Radway’s music festivals and Agricentre events draw crowds well beyond what the hamlet’s cell towers were built for, and a free Wi-Fi connection takes the pressure off. Vendors can run payment apps, volunteers can coordinate the kitchen and concession, and out-of-town guests can find directions or share photos, all on one encrypted network.
