Summer festival season is officially here, and my calendar is filling up fast. With Khatsahlano Street Party, Barnside Harvest Festival, Coastal Jazz Festival and more, there are so many great music festivals happening across BC this summer. In all my years of living in this city, I just discovered the Harrison Festival of the Arts in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs! With live music, art, and beautiful lakeside scenery, it sounds like the perfect summer escape and I can’t wait to check it out this year.

Speaking of this rad event, we're giving away tickets to Harrison Festival of the Arts in Harrison Hot Springs from 7/10-19! Celebrating nearly five decades of arts and culture, this beloved festival brings together acclaimed Canadian and international artists for a mix of ticketed performances and free outdoor programming.*
