A Festival to Remember
The 2026 Harrison Festival of the Arts took place from July 10 to July 19, 2026, in Harrison Hot Springs, BC. This 47th edition of the festival was one of the best attended in the history of the event, partially due to a strong lineup featuring some beloved Canadian performers and a compelling mix of styles from blues to bhangra, and from big dance bands to intimate, acoustic performances.
The Luckies
The Luckies were born In July, 2022 when Shari found herself with the bottom having fallen out of a project – her with two powerful female singer-songwriters she was bringing to the famed MusicFest in Comox BC – just days before the festival. She pondered who could replace such remarkable women and thought of Hilary Grist and Jeanne Tolmie. Both were an instant YES! They were only able to convene just a few hours before their MainStage set, and hit the stage with a miraculously polished performance, complete with gorgeous three-part harmonies on all the songs.
John Muirhead
John Muirhead is a Toronto-based troubadour crafting big-hearted indie-folk songs for dreamers, wanderers, and hopeless romantics.
John Reishman & the Jaybirds
