Element Music Festival: 3 days of camping, beats, and beers in BC
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
The sun is blazing and you’re ready for an adventure. Luckily, a festival is calling your name – Element Music Festival.
Taking place at the Snug Lake Amphitheatre just 40 kilometres north of Princeton, from Thursday, August 3 to Sunday, August 6, the festival is set to feature an eclectic music lineup and more.
Snug Lake Amphitheatre is nestled in the highlands of the Okanagan-Similkameen Valley on the tip of the Cascade Mountain Range, surrounded by forests, lakes and valleys, so the festival’s location really has it all.
And you’ll get to enjoy the wilderness during the day, making the most of endless hiking and mountain biking trails before catching your favourite bands perform at night. Sheer bliss.
Tickets for the summer festival are on sale now via Eventbrite starting at $10 for a drinking wristband and ranging to $300 for a four-day weekend camping pass. You can also opt for a one-day pass for $100.
You’ll find plenty of food trucks and craft vendors onsite where you can grab a bite to eat on the go before heading to one of the stages. But what really makes Element Music Festival a must-visit this summer is the diverse lineup.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the artists scheduled to perform at the festival.
Five Alarm Funk
This Vancouver-based Juno Award-nominated band of musicians produce groovy beats that will have you dancing the night away at Element Music Festival. Think lots of funk and saxophone sounds.
