The Festival

See you in 2025!

11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Where: The Sorrento Centre. 1159 Passchendaele Road, Sorrento, British Columbia.

The NimbleFingers Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Festival is a one-day public event that happens on the Saturday in between our workshop weeks.

We’re a small but mighty festival—flanked on either end by the NimbleFingers workshops.  The festival is a great day of music and fun in the Shuswap community. This is a family event with multiple stages throughout the day, food/artisan vendors, a beer garden, and accessible parking with a quick walk to the lake.

Important to note:

This is a one day only festival with no overnight camping options on or around the property.

Camping onsite is only available for registered Sorrento Centre workshop participants. Please do not camp in parking lots or on the roadside. It will risk us putting on future festivals. There are a variety of accommodation choices in the area—be safe!

Come for a wonderful day of
Music and Community!
