ROSSLAND’S BLIZZARD MUSIC FEST BRINGS A SNOWSTORM OF LIVE MUSIC
WHAT: A sonic blizzard is sweeping through Rossland this January, soundtracked by the ultimate winter playlist.
WHEN: Taking place from Jan. 22-26, Blizzard Music Festival will blanket the mountain town in a flurry of musical performances, syncing perfectly with the Rossland Winter Carnival.
DETAILS: Now in its 14th year, this five-day Canadian winter music festival celebrates diverse sounds—rock, folk, blues, hip-hop, and electronica—drawing music lovers from across the Kootenays and beyond.
Blizzard Fest launches on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at The Flying Steamshovel, with a free performance from The Heavy Lighters with guests, followed by ski film screenings at the same venue, which will serve as the festival hub. A free event featuring Sarah Orton and other songwriters-in-the-round will close out the festival on Sunday, Jan. 26 at Anecdote (in the basement of the historical Bank of Montreal building).
Throughout the festival, fans can enjoy live performances at several of Rossland’s iconic venues.
Weekend passes include general performances but separate tickets are required for the Lily May Room’s folk blues series. Free shows must be reserved online, as capacity is limited. The festival is paperless, with digital tickets, ticket transfers/resales, and more info all available on the Blizzard Music Fest website
