The festival offers FREE mini shows at beautiful locations throughout Hornby Island. These  20-minute spot performances will give you a taste of the performance happening the same evening! Tickets for the evening shows at Rosemuir Farm will be available for purchase.

Over the last two years, we have been honoured to have Cultural Knowledge Keeper and Pentlach Descendant, Elder Barbara Whyte (Billy) lead the festival’s Indigenous programming. The Hornby Festival is committed to ongoing, intentional and meaningful Indigenous-led collaborative programming.

Come on down to Hornby Island's own community radio station CHFR (located at Joe King Park) to see a 20-minute performance and interview by each artist/group playing at Rosemuir Farm that night.

Are you wondering about bringing your kids to a quiet, full-evening classical performance, yet want to expose them to some of this amazing music? Then Classical Kids is the event for you!  Everyone will love this 30-minute, world-class, youth-oriented presentation created especially for young people who are learning to appreciate the classical style of music.  Join us without hesitation; we “get” kids!
