The Edge of the World Music Festival Society received a $5,000 grant through Northern Development’s Fabulous Festivals and Events program to support its 2024 festival. Held every August on Haida Gwaii, the three-day event is family-friendly and features a vibrant mix of genres, from funk and reggae to rock, country and EDM.
Marking its 25th anniversary, last year’s festival was a resounding success. A strong line-up of returning artists and local favourites drew one of the largest audiences in the event’s history. The Kidz Zone and workshops were especially popular, and a robust volunteer team helped the festival run smoothly. A standout moment came Saturday evening when local legend Chini Har took the stage, thrilling one of the biggest crowds the festival has ever seen.
The Fabulous Festivals and Events program reopens January 1, 2026. The program is first come, first served until funds are fully allocated.
