Pemberton Music Festival is a four-day contemporary music festival in British Columbia’s scenic Pemberton Valley, near the foot of majestic Mt. Currie. Produced and promoted by Huka Entertainment, in collaboration with the Village of Pemberton and land partners Sunstone Group, Lil’wat Nation and Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, the festival turns Pemberton Valley, located less than thirty minutes from Whistler, BC, into a premiere musical playground.
Last year’s event drew more than 115,000 fans and featured nearly 120 performances by 113 artists over four days. In addition, the festival donated over $100,000 in grants to arts organizations in the Pemberton community.
Full ticketing details and prices, including Regular General Admission, VIP and Super VIP packages, are now available at www.pembertonmusicfestival.com.
