Performing Arts BC

We are a founding member of the Performing Arts BC Association of Regional Festivals. Our top performers are selected by qualified, experienced adjudicators to represent MIPAF at the Provincial Festival. Each year, the Provincial Festival is held in different local communities throughout BC and provides an opportunity for our performers to build upon and show their talent among their peers from around the province, benefitting from a further level of expert guidance and shared experience.

In 2024, the Provincial Festival was in Fort St John
– June 2nd to 6th!

Congratulations to all our Provincial Representatives chosen to represent MIPAF by our adjudicators and our Winners in 2024!
