Bass Coast would like to acknowledge that we collaborate, celebrate, and innovate on the shared traditional territories of the Nłeʔkepmx and Syilx. This would have been our eighth year at the Merritt Festival site and many of you have been with us for the entire twelve year journey. We thank you all.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed all of our lives. Health and safety must collectively be our first priority and Bass Coast is following the lead of BC's Provincial Health Officer. Due to COVID-19 Bass Coast Festival has announced the postponement of Bass Coast 2020 to next year - July 9-12, 2021. Bass Coast would like to express gratitude to all the front line workers who are helping us stay safe during this time.
We appreciate those who took the time to share constructive, respectful feedback. This is an unprecedented situation and we are committed to finding solutions that balance the festival’s preservation with the needs of our community. We have heard your concerns and have used this feedback to update the original COVID-19 response. The new plan addresses the most common themes including keeping groups together and choice of year. Additionally there are now incentives to choose a later year. If you are in a position to select 2022 or 2023, we humbly ask that you do so as it will help ensure the festival has a future beyond the pandemic.
