We can't wait to host you...

.... and we sure pack a lot into one little weekend. How you show up and what you bring matters! Get your tickets, claim your camp spot and prepare for a weekend of intimate engagements with friends old and new!

In the foothills of the Cariboo Mountains...

...local Trails, Vibrant Histories, and outdoor adventure make the Wells/Barkerville/Bowron Region a journey unto itself. Learn more about the places you'll stay, and the venues you'll see, and the community you'll support!

Be a part of the magic...

...with the many ways to get involved. From vending, to volunteering, sponsorship to standing centre stage, there are so many ways you can contribute to our art-full community and make your impact!

Take a wee second to appreciated the beautiful artwork of 2025. Our poster this year is drawn by friend of the festival Alan Derksen ( @alan_derksen ). Combining the iconic buildings of Pooley and Sanders St into one super street, it’s an amalgam of ArtsWells past and future. We are emerging from the forest of a difficult few years into something optimistic – together.
