August 9 – 10, 2019
Wapiti is Fernie BC’s summer music festival. An indie music festival in a park by a river at the foot of a mountain, it’s a beautiful setting for some amazing music.
There’s great music, tons of dancing, delicious food, tasty beverages, souvenirs, and the friendliest people.
Come for the music and stay for the town. Fernie is famous for its winters, but it’s even better in the summer: hiking, biking, golfing, fishing, eating – you name it!
Festival Dates are August 9, 10 2019.
Children 12 and under are free. Seniors 65+ are $5.
Note: Please purchase your free children’s passes at the same time as you purchase your own. Once we reach capacity we will not sell or give out passes.

Wapiti Music Festival has a wonderful food fair area. It is filled with everything from kombucha to cabbage. There are plenty of healthy options that are good for you – and some that are just good. We make an effort to find food vendors of variety and quality.
There are non-food vendors too, for those of you that like to shop. Clothes, music, souvenirs, and more! Check out the Merch Tent if you’re looking for Wapiti or Band merchandise.
We take members from a bunch of bands, get them up early in the morning, feed them tons of coffee, take them off the stage to the field and get them to play close up and personal.
Starting at approximately 10:30a on Saturday and ending before the main show at 12:45, the Morning Mixer is a new tradition at Wapiti and was already the highlight of 2018.
