Flats Fest is back August 14 and 15

Two days. Two stages. Big energy and small-town magic make Flats Fest the perfect summer weekend.

Tucked away at the sunny south end of Columbia Lake – where the mighty Columbia River begins – you’ll find the charming little village of Canal Flats.

Surrounded by the stunning Canadian Rockies and Purcell Mountains, it’s the perfect place to kick back, take in the views, and enjoy good vibes.

This year’s sixth annual festival is bigger and better than ever, with headliners Jerrod Niemann (Friday) and Aaron Pritchett and Steven Page (of Barenaked Ladies fame) along with a host of other awesome acts.

Since 2017, Flats Fest has been bringing the beats to this beautiful spot. What started as a cozy one-day gathering has grown into a two-day music-packed weekend every third weekend in August!

With two stages – the big, bold Columbia Stage and the always-awesome Kootenay Stage showcasing local talent – you’ll be dancing, singing, and soaking up the sounds from start to finish.

But it’s not just about the music – this is a full-on family affair! Little ones will love the kid zone with face painting and all kinds of fun activities.

And don’t miss the vibrant market, where local vendors serve up tasty eats, cool crafts, funky jewellery and more.
