History

The Atlin Arts & Music Festival was founded in January 2003, and in July of that year 800 people attended the inaugural event. Attendance in later years reached up to 3,500 people.Шаблон:Citation needed No festival took place in 2010.

The festival was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and then was re-evaluated based on a community survey done in 2022. The festival will run again in 2023, but on a smaller scale with much more community engagement.

Stages

The main festival grounds are located in Tarahne Park (in which the Air North Stage is located). Tarahne Park is located next to Atlin Lake (one of the largest natural lakes in British Columbia). There are three main stages in Atlin that are in use during the festival: the Lake Stage (otherwise known as the Atlin Mountain Inn Stage), a large tent located beside Atlin Lake; the Globe Theatre; and the Air North Stage, the largest of the three.
