In late summer on Haida Gwaii, people from around the world will gather in Tlell on the east coast of Graham Island. See our 'Getting Here' page for maps. The Edge of the World Music Festival on Haida Gwaii is an awesome experience from the opening Friday evening, through a Saturday filled with music, fringe events, vendors, and dancing, to the closing on Sunday afternoon. Come and hear some of the finest musicians on our magical islands. |
| CAMPING AT THE FESTIVAL & OTHER PLACES TO STAY |
The Festival is held at the Tlell Fairgrounds. There is no camping on the festival grounds, but camping is available at the B.C. Parks Misty Meadows Campground, just across the street. The Parks campground unfortunately DOES NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS - camping sites are occupied on a "FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED" basis. More camping is available at Sunset Campground ( 250-557-4295) in Port Clements, just a 20-minute drive from the festival site. B.C. Parks’ regulations do not permit camping on the festival grounds, including the property adjacent to the fairgrounds which borders the Tlell River and the beach property in front of the Naikoon Park Headquarters, and there is also no overnight camping permitted in the parking area next to the fairgrounds. For other accommodations, there are Bed & Breakfast facilities available in both Tlell and Port Clements. Tlell:

THIS IS IMPORTANT STUFF - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The music festival is a family event and the Tlell Fairgrounds are an ALCOHOL and DRUG FREE zone. We ask that you KEEP YOUR PETS AT HOME - no animals are allowed on the festival grounds or the parking area. PARENTS: Please note that the Tlell River borders the fairgrounds, so you will need to supervise your little ones carefully. The festival will have a security crew on duty only during the performance hours, and there will be no regular security at the campground--you are responsible for your own property. There is a Lost and Found area on the festival site. We will have emergency first aid assistance on site only during the performance hours. There will be RCMP coverage during the festival open hours. We want everyone to enjoy the music, have fun and, if you've never been here before, take the opportunity to explore these spectacular islands that we call home. |
