MusicFest will not take place in 2025 but organizers will work on developing a more sustainable model, according to a statement from the Comox Valley Folk Society board.
Organizers of Courtenay’s top music festival have hit pause and announced Thursday the event will not take place in 2025.
“Economic challenges have increased dramatically across all aspects of the Festival — from travel costs to certain production costs more than doubling what they were before the pandemic. When paired with decreasing sponsorships, zero local funding and reduced ticket sales you have pressures on all sides.”
“We have no desire to raise ticket prices to the level we would need to in order to make things work, which would make our festival unavailable for so many members of our community and loyal patrons. It’s all caused us to realize, for the moment at least, our festival model is no longer sustainable in the Comox Valley.”
