Kootenay Wellness Festival

June 12-14, 2026.

A grassroots spring festival in the West Kootenays, uniting all ages and abilities through yoga, movement, art, music, creativity, holistic wellness and nature.

14/02/2026

One week until our first-ever collaboration with Live Harmonics!

We’re proud to present 'evolve': a sober-curious dance party rooted in presence, community connection and electronic music culture.

More and more, we’re hearing from people in our community who are re-examining their relationship with alcohol and other substances while still wanting to stay connected to the vibrant electronic music and dance scene that thrives here in the Kootenays.

So we curated an intentional, substance-free gathering that brings together the best of both worlds: a stacked lineup of local DJs, immersive sound and a dance floor without alcohol or powders — just music, movement and meaningful connection.

Tickets are moving quickly.

Kootenay Wellness Festival founder and Executive Director Amy Heasman shares an accessible overview of nervous system regulation and why developing awareness, regulation skills, and stress resilience is essential in today’s fast-paced world.

If you regularly feel the physical activation of stress (tension, shallow breathing, restlessness, overwhelm), your sympathetic nervous system may be responding to a perceived threat. Through nervous system awareness, such as self-regulation practices, grounding techniques and somatic tools, we can communicate safety to the body, support parasympathetic activation and help the nervous system return to a more calm, regulated and balanced state.

Join us this June 12-14, 2026. Tickets available on our website.

What does it take to feel truly well, not just healthy?

At the Kootenay Wellness Festival, we believe it all starts with being in community.

Spring is the season of renewal and in 2026, we’ll be blooming brighter than ever!

We’re beyond thrilled to announce that the Kootenay Wellness Festival will return June 12–14, 2026.

Three magical days to move, breathe, dance, and celebrate wellness together under the open skies, surrounded by community and connection.

This is more than a festival, it’s a gathering of hearts, a fresh chapter, and a shared journey of growth and joy.

📅 Mark your calendars! The countdown to spring has officially begun!

We’ve made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s festival due to the ongoing wildfire
smoke in the Slocan Valley.

✨️ Wellness is at the heart of everything we do, and with most of the festival outdoors, it feels against our wellbeing ethos to invite people to gather in smoky conditions.

Instead, the festival will return in Spring 2026 at the same beautiful location, the Vallican Whole.

🎟 All tickets will be honoured, and more details will be shared in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

♥️ With love and gratitude,
The Kootenay Wellness Festival Team

The Slocan Valley holds this festival. Caring for it is part of the practice.

✨️ Here’s how we keep our footprint soft together:

🌿Pack light and re-use: bring a water bottle, cup, and a small utensil kit.
🌿Share the road: carpool with your crew or offer a seat.
🌿Move gently on the land: stick to paths, leave what you find.
🌿Take only what you’ll use, sort your waste thoughtfully.
🌿Choose local when you can, every bite and sip supports the valley.
