Merritt, BC, Canada

Bass Coast Festival 2019: An Intimate Music And Arts Festival In BC

British Columbia is known for offering music enthusiasts an exciting array of festivals throughout the year. Despite that, the Bass Coast Festival stands out on its own for many reasons. For one, this boutique festival encourages creativity and expression in every way imaginable; you’re invited to come as yourself and celebrate life, art, music, and nature in a safe space. Another reason why this music festival is so transformational is because of its strong community spirit.

You get stellar EDM acts playing alongside mind-blowing local talent, but more importantly, it’s about artists sharing skills with an intimate audience. In between DJ sets, festival goers are treated to the magnificent surrounds of the Nicola Valley in British Columbia which come alive with mind-bending art installations, state-of-the-art visuals, and inspiring workshops. Do some yoga and meditation, learn about ayurvedic cooking, and get your body moving: there will be workshops for everyone, and they’re open to all. Whether you want to swim in the river to recharge or chill out with your friends, the only limit to the number of ways you can have fun here is your imagination.

Electronic music fuses with art and nature perfectly – resulting in a trifecta that will blow your mind at the Bass Coast Festival.

And nature won’t be the only thing getting you buzzed, because there will be a fully-stocked bar offering premium libations throughout the event.
