Harrison Festival Society
The Harrison Festival Society presents world quality performing arts, including the Harrison Festival of the Arts, in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia.
The 32nd Harrison Festival is now over, but what a time it was. With near perfect weather we saw the biggest crowds ever attend the Festival. The audeince raved about the program - well known names; Dan Hick, David Landley, Delhi2Dublin, did not disappoint; while lesser known names; Peatbog Faeries, Poema Flamenco, Las Algegres Ambulancias
impressed.
The Art Market and Art Exhibit also carnared raves.
Concerts
The next non-Festival concerts will take place in the Fall. As the Harrison Memorial Hall will be undergoing renovations this Fall, we have to find alternative venues in order to continue presenting concerts. The Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa has agreed to host two show this Fall; the return of comedian Lorne Elliott and the magical winter season production Winter Harp.
We are planning a big show in January, 2011 to celebrate the opening of the renovated Memorial Hall.
Keep an eye on this site for more information.
Markets
In addition to performing arts the Harrison Festival Society produces a number of markets including a Plant and Garden Show in May, an Art Market in July and a craft market in September.
Applications for the September 4 & 5 Craft Market are now available.
Interested vendors can get more information on the Vendor page.
