Festival North 2025
August 1-8 in Prince George, Burns Lake, Houston & Smithers
About the Festival
Welcome to Festival North 2025! Alongside our annual events in the Bulkley Valley, we are excited to present a series of events to Prince George that will bring musicians and audiences together. Our festival offers music to enjoy and opportunities to be transported by musical moments while enjoying and learning about the music and musicians of our area.
Festival concerts run daily in Prince George from August 1 to 5, and then August 6 in Burns Lake, August 7 in Houston and August 8 in Smithers.
About Us
Running annually since 2016, Festival North (formerly the Spirit of the North Classical Music Festival) features classical chamber music and local musicians sharing folk, fiddle, and traditional music, all while celebrating the diversity and talent of northern BC.
2025 marks an important landmark as we introduce Festival North to Prince George, through a close collaboration between the Orchestra North Summer Program, the Prince George Symphony Orchestra, and the PG Conservatory of Music.
Through our festival we aim to learn, share, and connect northern audiences with their own professional artists, while fostering relationships between visiting and local musicians.
