This year’s cultural programming brought people together through stories, movement, music, and shared knowledge. From hands-on learning and meaningful conversations to powerful performances and joyful moments, every experience offered an opportunity to connect, discover, and celebrate the richness of cultures from near and far.
We’re grateful to every artist, knowledge keeper, and facilitator who helped bring these experiences to life and made this year’s programming so memorable.

From unforgettable headliner sets to golden-hour performances and those stumbled-upon jam sessions, this year’s festival had a soundtrack we won’t soon forget. 🎶💛 Huge thanks to every artist who brought their talent, energy, and magic to Ness this summer.

There’s always more than enough to do at Ness Creek, and this year was no exception. From making bannock, story stones, or beaded earrings to the FIT-Ness run club, tie-dying, and yoga, Ness Creek was overflowing with opportunities to learn, move, and create. Which workshops did you love?
