Performing Arts BC

We are a founding member of the Performing Arts BC Association of Regional Festivals. Qualified, experienced adjudicators select our top performers to represent MIPAF at the Provincial Festival. Each year, the Provincial Festival is held in different communities throughout BC. Provincials allows our performers to build upon and show their talent among their peers from around the province, benefiting from further expert guidance and an exciting shared experience.

In 2026, the Provincial Festival will be in Prince George – June 1st to 6th!

Congratulations to all our provincial representatives who our adjudicators chose to represent MIPAF at the 2025 Provincial Festival in Victoria!
