| In late summer on Haida Gwaii, people from around the world will gather again in Tlell on the east coast of Graham
Island, the largest of the approximately 150 that make up the archipelago known as the
Queen Charlotte Islands / Haida Gwaii (see our 'Getting Here' page for maps). The Edge of the World Music Festival will delight and amaze you. What a gathering it is! From the time the lights go up for the opening concert Friday evening until the last refrain of the grand finale on Sunday afternoon, we promise the opportunity to hear and discover some of the finest musicians on the planet in one of the most magical locales imaginable. |
| 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 Misty Meadows Campground, just across the street. The 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 10-minute drive from the festival site. B.C. Parks’ regulations do not permit camping on the festival grounds, which includes 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: Cacilia’s B&B, 250-557-4664 Port Clements: Bayview Bed & Breakfast, 250-557-4560 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 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 during the performance hours, as well as RCMP coverage. 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. |
