WHO WE ARE
Prince George Folkfest Society formed as a not-for-profit, registered charity society in 2003 to present professionally produced live music events in Northern BC that are educational, inclusive, relevant and community-minded (as well as being entertaining!)
We presented four summer weekend festivals from 2004 to 2007, and then switched to a winter weeklong format in January of 2008 - “Coldsnap - the prince george winter music festival”
Other events we have presented over the years include providing music for Studio 2880’s Arts Bazaar, Prince George 2015 Canada Winter Games, Kiwanis Alefest, Heatwave 2017 + 2019, Warm Up to Coldsnap concerts and more!

COLDSNAP 2027
Coldsnap is an annual live music festival that takes place each winter at various indoor venues around the City of Prince George.
During the 5-day festival, 3,000-4,000 people of all ages will attend ticketed mainstage concerts (including an afternoon "Coldsnap for Kids" concert with reduced ticket prices for families!), late-night 19+ shows, and a variety of free-to-attend workshops, community jams and concerts.
Coldsnap 2027 will be our twentieth annual winter festival taking place from February 3 to 7. We plan to once again present a wide variety of high-calibre, professional, established musicians from across Canada. The music genres change every night and include roots, alt-rock, Celtic and world music performed in lively, dance-oriented venues and soft-seat, sit down concert venues.
The festival is a significant tourism event that brings visitors to our region for an exciting week. This is a unique business opportunity to showcase community involvement and promote products and services to a keen audience. Sponsors are recognized in many ways before and during the festival. We welcome back valued returning sponsors and look forward to building new relationships!
PGFFS’ MISSION IS
1) to be sustainable, collaborative and relevant;
2) to be a significant contributor to the quality of life in the City of Prince George and to the culture and arts community across the province and the country;
3) and to be highly respected within the music industry in Canada.
