Be a part of the Hornby Festival, a 10-day celebration of world-class music and art in the heart of Hornby Island. Running from July 31 to August 9, 2025, the festival will bring together emerging and established artists across multiple genres to create unforgettable performances and experiences. We invite talented musicians and groups to apply and contribute their unique voice to this vibrant and historic Festival.

Artist Applications
Please note that the Hornby Festival has space for approximately eight artists or groups each year. We encourage you to take a look at our 2024 lineup to see the kind of artists we have featured in the past, which will help guide your application.
