Event Description

The Columbia Valley's premier music festival

Flats Fest is where music, mountains, and good times come together! Set in the cozy and beautiful village of Canal Flats, British Columbia, right in the heart of the Columbia Valley, our outdoor music festival offers unforgettable vibes in one of the most scenic spots around. With epic views in every direction and plenty of nearby adventures waiting for you—this is the ultimate place to soak up the sounds and the scenery.

Our very first Flats Fest kicked off on Saturday, August 19, 2017, and now we're gearing up for our 9th annual celebration, happening Friday, August 14 to Sunday, August 16, 2026. The music starts Friday evening and keeps rolling all day Saturday, with two stages, amazing talent, and a high-energy atmosphere you won’t want to miss.

Want to stay close to the action? We’ve got on-site non-serviced camping available with ticket purchases (sites assigned closer to the event). Bring the whole family—Kids Zone fun is happening Saturday, and our vendor market is open both Friday and Saturday with food, crafts, and cool local finds.

So pack up your lawn chairs, gather your festival crew, and get ready to dance, laugh, and explore everything Canal Flats and Flats Fest 2026 has to offer. See you there!
