Fred Fest is a family run music festival held in Fort St. John British Columbia.  Our unique festival prides itself on supporting local and shining a spotlight on up and coming artists.  We endeavour to give back to our community by not only providing an amazing weekend of entertainment for great value, but also by giving back to individuals and groups in need through our fundraising efforts.  Over the last five years, together with our guests support, we have raised and donated over $50,000 that has had a direct and positive impact on our community.  This year we are featuring headliners Kyle Mckearney, Jake Vaadeland, The Prairie States, Brandon Lorenzo and more!  The amazing venue overlooking the stunning Peace River valley provides ample space for camping and provides a natural amphitheatre.  RV's welcome, no services provided.  A weekend camping fee of $40 per unit.  Bring your cooler and your camp chair and be prepared for an amazing weekend of entertainment!  Absolutely no dogs!  Although we love dogs, we ask that you leave your pets at home for their safety and ours.  No ATV's permitted, propane campfires allowed.  No glass beverage containers.  There will be food trucks on site. Please feel free to arrive for RV setup anytime after 12:00 pm on Thursday and we ask that you depart by 12:00 pm Sunday.  We are a family friendly event, kids welcome, 12 and under are free.
