After a year-long pause to rest, reimagine, and dream, the beloved Campbell Bay Music Festival is back and it’s coming to a brand new home.

The 2026 edition of the festival will take place June 19-21, 2026 at a new location on SḴŦAḴ / Mayne Island. A new location means getting to know more of the beautiful SḴŦAḴ landscape, and a continued chance for the well-loved Campbell Bay site to experience restoration of the land following many years of festival use. While the landscape might look a little different, we’re keeping the festival’s immersive, community-rooted spirit with music, place, and people at the heart of the festival.

Expect a weekend of emerging and established artists, immersive workshops and the familiar magic that defines the festival experience. Want more details? Sign up for our email list to stay in the loop.

Founded in 2009, the Campbell Bay Music Fest has grown organically from a music party hosted by a few friends with a van full of lumber, to a festival with a dedicated following presenting outstanding artists from across North America in an intimate, unforgettable setting. We feature multiple genres, with a focus on progressive music and music rooted in folk traditions, and we always aim to have something you’ve never heard before. Check out our past performers list for a sense of what we’re into.
