Music, Art & Dance to Feed the Soul

July 10th & 11th, 2026

Arts on the Fly is a family- and nature-oriented celebration of the arts, rooted in the vibrant rural community of Horsefly, BC. Known for its intimate, welcoming atmosphere, the festival brings the whole community together and draws audiences from across the region and beyond.

Each summer features a stellar lineup of musical talent spanning a wide range of genres. Performances take place on our much-loved solar-powered outdoor stage along the banks of the Horsefly River—an important salmon-spawning site—as well as a second stage in the Community Hall, ensuring there’s always something to experience.
