	Welcome to the edge of the world on a remote western archipelago, Haida Gwaii, formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. Here, for the past 30+ years more or less, the Edge of the World Music Festival has hosted musicians from Canada and from the world on a weekend in forest wilderness a stone's throw from the ocean where music, people, food and fun fill a green grass field. It's a magical weekend, so far away from the mainstream, truly an experience in paradise. There is so much to do: music on the stage, fringe and children's entertainment on the grounds, crafts and food booths, laughter and good times. Join us this year - you'll remember it always!
