Banff Centre Summer Arts Festival

A celebration of art in the mountains!

Since 1950, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity has been inviting audiences onto campus for concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, workshop presentations, productions, talks, and readings at our gorgeous location on Sacred Buffalo Guardian Mountain.

With a 360° view of the Rocky Mountains, the Summer Arts Festival invites the Banff community into the creative process that happens every day at Banff Centre, to witness the magic that comes out of our residencies in visual art, music, opera, Indigenous arts, literature, and more.

From world premieres to works in their earliest stage of development, Banff Centre is a place where emerging artists, Canadian icons, and international superstars gather to create and share work with our community.

Find out more in the Festival Guide and see what's coming up in the Festival Calendar.

In the spirit of respect and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Banff area, known as “Minihrpa” (translated in Stoney Nakoda as “the waterfalls”) and the Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney Nations – as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Shuswap Nations, Ktunaxa Nations, and Metis Nation of Alberta, Rockyview District 4. We acknowledge all Nations who live, work, and play here, help us steward this land, and honour and celebrate this place.
