We believe that good quality live performing arts are an extremely important part of a healthy community. We also believe that within their local area, people should be able to explore the human community through the presentation of a full spectrum of artistic expression.
We recognize the importance of celebrating cultural diversity in Canada and around the world. Part of our mission is to help others appreciate the contributions of different cultures, how they enrich all our lives, and are a great addition to our common Canadian culture. We do this by presenting audiences with the artistic expression of diverse peoples, whether it comes in the form of song, dance, art or local artisans.
The Society is thoroughly committed to its audience and we strive to bring the best that Canada, and the world has to offer, while remaining accessible and inclusive for all.
The Harrison Festival Society is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1988 under the BC Society Act. The Society is governed by a board of directors, employs a staff of three and has an office open twelve months a year in Harrison Hot Springs.
