Salty Hearts Festival Poster for 2026

Salty Hearts Music Festival returns for 2026 to Bamfield for a weekend of music, connection, and coastal immersion at the far western edge of Vancouver Island.

Small by design and deeply rooted in place, Salty Hearts unfolds across the walkable villages of Bamfield and Anacla to the forested edges of Pachena Bay. Downtown expect a variety of live bands, DJs, fun and games! DJs, cozy fires and saunas at the campground!

Salty Hearts is less an event and more a temporary way of life—where cold ocean dips, sauna sessions, short boat rides, and long conversations are part of the rhythm.
