About

Coldsnap is one of Canada’s premiere winter music festivals. Its aim is to bring a variety of musical acts to the city of Prince George, British Columbia in the dead of winter. Since its beginnings in the early 2000s, it has made its mark on the cultural map, being featured in media ranging from the Globe and Mail to Westworld Magazine to CBC Radio’s Canada Live.

Performers include everything from blues to jazz to hip-hop to indie rock, and everything in between. At it’s core is a belief that music comes first, regardless of genre.

Coldsnap is an entirely volunteer-driven organization. At it’s core is the Prince George Folkfest Society, with the help of fantastic private and public sponsors and tireless cast of supporters. If you’d like to get involved, please click the relevant links (volunteer, sponsor, artist).

Coldsnap is generally held during the last week of January, with individual supporting concerts throughout the year.
