Join us for a vibrant weekend of creativity, connection, and community at the CREATE! Arts & Craft Festival 2025 in Sun Peaks!
This three-day celebration of the arts brings together live music, dance, fibre arts, visual arts, hands-on workshops, and family-friendly activities—all set against a stunning mountain backdrop.
This year’s festival features two special fibre art exhibitions from the renowned Fibre Art Network (FAN), a collective of Western Canadian artists who create and tour gallery-quality textile art.
Whether you're painting en plein air, dancing the night away, or browsing handmade goods, CREATE! is a joyful expression of community and creativity for all ages.
See below for the weekend line up and stay tuned for more information and events!
