The Ultimate Summer Festival Guide is a massive directory of music festivals from across Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The Guide also features articles, contests, and tips and tools for fun filled summer road tripping. We distribute over 15,000 highly sought after copies of the Guide to cultural tourists, music lovers and summer travelers across Western Canada. We’ve experienced a huge surge in popularity as we prepare for this 5th Anniversary edition as more and more folks are discovering this perfect side-kick for their ‘unplugged’ summer adventures!
The Ultimate Summer Festival Guide offers highly effective and highly targeted marketing for your festival. Our team is made up of festival veterans who have significant experience with the festival scene. We know first hand about humble marketing budgets, target audiences, the importance of effective distribution and the need to be creative, smart and highly tactical in getting the word out about your event.

Our July/August Magazine is all about art and design and the creative folks behind the scenes who make the gig posters, album art, photographs look so amazing. This year we’re going to dive into “Street Art” as well. This magazine is a highly strategic opportunity to keep your festival ‘top of mind’ for readers throughout the summer. This magazine gets some great mileage on the festival circuit! The BC Musician team will be touring the province all summer long with the Festival Guide, the “Art and Music” edition and some cool swag.

Looking forward to an amazing Festival Season with you!

Hi Brenda, The 2013 Festival Guide comes out in May of 2013 bur we will have a preliminary guide posted online (fingers crossed) in March. Your best bet is to use the 2012 Guide for planning and look up the new dates!
Hello I was wondering how I would be able to send a press release to you announcing our 2013 line up for Vancouver Islands’ Sunfest 2013.
If someone could get back to me, it would be appreciated!
Sincerely

Event Manager
Hi there, We will be producing the 2013 Festival Guide this spring and welcome information for the event listings. These listings are date, web and one line description only. However, we will have expanded listings available (for a small fee) and display ads in the guide. Please message Meg Cursons at meg@bcmusicianmag.com (she is based on the Island) and she can set you up!
Hi Annie;
