Festival North

Running annually in August since 2015, Festival North is a vibrant classical and traditional music festival. The only such festival in the north of BC, Festival North provides opportunities for northerners to meet, learn together in workshops and masterclasses, and enjoy world class musicians, new compositions, chamber music masterworks, intimate recitals, and much more, in settings ranging from free, family-friendly outdoor spaces to more formal concert stages. With a firm belief that music should be inclusive, organizers and festival musicians alike value inclusivity, connection, and respect.

We respectfully acknowledge that our festival takes place on the unceded ancestral lands of the Lheidli T'enneh. We are so grateful to be here in this place. 

Festival North brings an incredible variety of artists to share, entertain, and inspire to northern BC and presents dozens of concerts annually in early August.

We are working on our 2027 festival! Mark your calendars as Festival North is planning dozens of concerts, workshops and events in Prince George from August 2-7, 2027.

Music can express who we are, and a festival right here in the north allows us to all deepen our appreciation for who we are as a community. Festival North is constantly exploring what is possible for arts in the north, and is especially proud to primarily feature performers from our own region and our guest musicians who share a professional or personal connection to northern BC. We love the north! 

We look forward to seeing you!
