It isn't easy handling an influx of visitors on our tiny island, and our community sure meets our audience, crew, volunteers and artists from off-island with grace! Thank you for feeding and housing them, thank you for hosting them with smiles, thank you for making new friends and for all your kind words about our lovely guests during and after the festival

Our funders don't just send money! They have supported us in so many ways - talking through our ideas and approaches, suggesting like-minded organizations to chat with, funding associations that bring BC festivals together, and so much more. We are grateful for all the work they're doing to make presenting arts more sustainable, and ensuring that arts organizations are meeting their communities' needs.
