We are a small music festival held in a beautiful waterfront setting on SḴŦAḴ / Mayne Island in BC’s Gulf Islands. We present emerging artists in a diverse array of genres, and have a simple mission – bringing musicians and music lovers together for a really, really good time. We believe in great music and great sound!

2025 will be a fallow year for the festival - we are taking a break! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up to date with other programming we are involved with presenting throughout the year, and keep an eye on the events page.

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.

The festival centres around a wooden stage on the edge between a forest and a field near the sea, with art installations tucked into the trees, and food & drink vendors out in the grass. Most attendees camp onsite, some stay in other accomms on the island, and some sleep on their sailboats in the bay.
