2025 Fort Langley Jazz & Arts Festival Wraps Another Unforgettable Weekend
Record Crowds, World-Class Music, and Community Spirit
The Fort Langley Jazz & Arts Festival once again struck all the right chords, wrapping its 2025 edition with record-breaking attendance, sold-out concerts, and four unforgettable days of music, art, and celebration in the heart of one of British Columbia’s most historic villages.
With an estimated 15,000 people attending over the four-day weekend, the Festival delivered something for everyone, from world-class headline concerts and family-friendly performances to hands-on art workshops and Indigenous cultural showcases.
Crowds packed the Friday night Cool Blues Show at Fort Langley Park, dancing to the sounds of top Canadian blues acts while enjoying food trucks, artisan vendors, and whisky tastings in the Angry Otter Lounge.
Throughout the Village on the weekend, music lovers explored three outdoor stages (the Conwest Main Stage, Youth Stage, and Arts & Culture Zone Stage) while roaming bands like Bloco Energia and the Vijay Brass Band kept the energy high.
Attendees also immersed themselves in a vibrant arts program that included free acrylic painting sessions, painting and art workshops for kids, Mehndi art workshops, and Indigenous cultural demonstrations such as the Indigenous flute, Eagle Dance and wood carving by Arnie Leon, storytelling and plant knowledge with Karen Gabriel, and dance performances by the Williams Family Dancers.
This year’s festival was a true celebration of diversity, creativity, and community.
We want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone, the musicians, artists, our amazing summer students and crew, the operations and production teams, volunteers, supporters, donors, sponsors, collaborators, and partners, for an absolutely inspirational and unforgettable 2025 festival.
The overwhelming theme echoed by guests was clear: diverse, high-calibre programming, a welcoming atmosphere, and the dedication of over 125 passionate volunteers, crew, and staff created a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
