Flats Fest is held in the quaint Village of Canal Flats, BC, peacefully located at the south end of Columbia Lake, the headwaters to the Columbia River, and nestled between the Canadian Rockies and Purcell Mountain ranges that encompass the Columbia Valley.

Flats Fest was established in 2017 in this friendly little Village as the perfect location for an outdoor music festival, where attendees can take in the breathtakingly beautiful surroundings while enjoying 20 bands on 2 separate stages. The family-friendly event started out as a 1 day event that has evolved into 2 days over the 3rd weekend in August. Attendees enjoy a weekend full of music with the headliners on the main stage (Columbia Stage) and our incredible local talent on a side stage (Kootenay Stage) in between the main stage sets.

During the show, families will also find entertainment in our children’s section with face-painting and other fun-filled activities for all ages. As well, a market is located onsite with local vendors selling food, clothing, jewelry and many other unique crafts and wares. Adults can kick back with a beverage from the onsite beverage garden and enjoy the show. Bring lawn chairs or a blanket to sit on the grassy area in front of the stages.

Join us for a weekend of entertainment for the whole family that will be enjoyed in a spectacular mountain-view setting!
