With the gradual lifting of COVID restrictions this summer, and the allowance of small outdoor music concerts, the Harrison Festival Society is delighted to confirm that they will be presenting a limited capacity version of their annual Harrison Festival of the Arts, from July 10-18, 2021. Due to the difficulty in restricting audience numbers in their usual space on the Harrison waterfront, the festival will take place on the family-run Holberg Farm in Agassiz. As a result the 2021 version of the festival is titled Farm Edition.
