Established in 2008, Rifflandia Festival is one of the longest running large-scale music & arts festivals in Western Canada. In 2022, we re-launched our festival after a brief pandemic hiatus to huge success pulling in our biggest audience ever with over 60,000 festival attendees! To support our continued growth, for 2023 we have decided to move our festival to 2 separate weekends featuring Electric Avenue Sept 7-Sept 9 & our second venue, The Park, Sept 15-17 2023. Our festival happens every September in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia (hence the #Septemberforever). Rifflandia welcomes music lovers to Victoria BC for performances by top international and national acts alongside new and emerging artists.
As a beloved staple in the Province’s Capital City, Rifflandia compliments the city’s culture of supporting locals by featuring Victoria based businesses such as food & beverage entrepreneurs and creative artisans.
