JUNE 13 – 15, 2025
Held on beautiful Vancouver Island at Laketown Ranch Music Park, Lake Cowichan, B.C.
Traditional lands of the Ts’uubaa-asatx Nation
The festival is genre-specific to bluegrass and Appalachian-style “old-time” music, which is different than what music fans find at traditional folk festivals that dominate the Canadian festival landscape. In addition to main stage performances, events take place throughout the weekend that are participatory in nature, including hosted and spontaneous jam sessions, vocal, instrument and dance workshops, and a Saturday night outdoor square dance.
With most participants camping on site, we create a 24-7 village where people listen to, learn, play and share bluegrass and old-time music in the oral traditions from which they sprang.
