Why Attend?

Join round dancers from across British Columbia and beyond for a weekend dedicated to the rhythm, elegance, and enjoyment of round dancing.

Whether you enjoy smooth Waltzes, lively Chas, romantic Rumbas, energetic Two-Steps, or any of the many rhythms that make round dancing so special, Festival 2027 offers a full weekend of dancing, friendship, and fun.

Set in beautiful Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island, this event combines excellent dancing with the opportunity to relax and enjoy one of British Columbia’s most scenic destinations. Reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and share memorable moments both on and off the dance floor.

Come for the dancing, stay for the friendships, and experience the best of round dancing in a spectacular island setting.

Festival 2027 offers much more than a weekend of dancing. Our featured cuers bring a wealth of experience. Their knowledge, talent, and passion for round dancing have helped shape the activity throughout British Columbia and beyond.

Throughout the weekend, dancers will have the opportunity to learn and enjoy new round dances, discover fresh choreography, and expand their dancing repertoire. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or looking to add new dances to your program, there will be something for everyone.

For aspiring and newer cuers, Festival 2027 provides a unique opportunity to learn from some of the province’s most accomplished cueing professionals. Beyond the scheduled sessions, you’ll have the chance to ask questions, share ideas, and benefit from the experience and insights of cuers who have spent years developing their craft.
