Location is everything - and we've got it! |
| The Edge of the World Music Festival now takes place at the Tlell Fairgrounds which is located across Highway 16 from Naikoon Provincial Park Headquarters and adjacent to the Misty Meadows campsite. This about 3 km. north of our former site and just south of the Tlell River highway bridge. Tlell is
a small community that stretches along Highway 16 which winds along the shores of Hecate Strait on
the east coast of Graham Island, the largest island of this archipelago known as Haida Gwaii or the
Queen Charlotte Islands. The islands are located about 60 miles from the coast of British Columbia,
and about 600 miles north of Vancouver. To get to the festival you first have to get to the islands. Pacific Coastal Airlines, our official airline, flies direct to Masset from Vancouver. The Festival will transport our off-Island guests from there. You can contact PCA at 1-800-663-2872 or book your flight online. Masset is about a one-hour drive south to the festival. |

B.C. Ferries runs from Prince
Rupert to Skidegate Landing. Prince Rupert is a 20 hour drive from Vancouver, and there is a 30 minute drive
north to the festival site from Skidegate once you arrive there. If you wish to bring a vehicle, this is the only way to do so. The ferry trip from Prince Rupert takes
about 6 hours. The ferries are often full in summer, so booking in advance is highly recommended. The Pacific Coastal Airlines flight from Vancouver takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Air Canada Jazz also offers daily flights from Vancouver to Sandspit. |
| If you arrive in Sandspit, you will need to
get to Graham Island via Eagle Transit and the Kwuna - the small ferry that runs between Moresby and Graham Islands.
The shuttle will drop you off on the Graham island side at Skidegate Landing or in Queen Charlotte. See
the 'transportation' section of our links page for contact information on all
businesses listed here. If you are coming down from Alaska or the Yukon you can always travel via the Alaska Ferry Service to Prince Rupert. Check out their site from our links page for more information. |
