History

We acknowledge that the Harmony Arts Festival is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Squamish Nation, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, and Musqueam Nation. We recognize and respect them as nations in this territory, as well as their historic connection to the lands and waters around us since time immemorial.

Harmony Arts Festival, presented by Odlum Brown Limited, began 33 years ago with a simple dream: to give the North Shore a festival worthy of its unparalleled setting. Read more.

 

Zero Waste

The festival is proud to be a Zero Waste Festival. In 2022, the festival further improved by diverting 90.8% of its waste from landfills with the support of Green Chair Recycling.

  • 647.2 bags of garbage saved
  • 4728 kg of items recycled
  • 13.57 tonnes of CO2 saved (the equivalent of driving 260 round trips from Vancouver to Whistler)
