Cowichan Valley Bluegrass Festival

Dust off your boots for the Cowichan Valley Bluegrass Festival, British Columbia’s premier celebration of bluegrass and old-time music. Held annually over Father’s Day weekend (June 19-21, 2026) at the scenic Laketown Ranch in Lake Cowichan, this family-friendly event features a high-calibre lineup of international and local artists. Beyond the main stage performances, the festival is famous for its inclusive atmosphere, offering acoustic jam sessions, hands-on music workshops, and a spirited Saturday night square dance. With on-site camping, local food vendors, and five distinct performance spaces, it’s a “foot-stomping” summer kickoff that brings pickers and fans together under the blue skies of the Cowichan Valley.
