The PABC Board and the chair of the Provincials Cranbrook Host Committee met on Saturday, January 29 to discuss the 2022 BC Provincial Festival. The decision reached at the conclusion of this meeting is that the 2022 Provincial Festival will once again be virtual. There is just too much ongoing uncertainty around life as we now know it, both in Cranbrook and at the Provincial level, with many local festivals already having had to pivot to a virtual format. We had really hoped that by June 2022 we could host a live festival, but with the amount of lead time required, the decision had to be made now. We are sure that this is not the news that everyone was hoping for and we regret the disappointment that this decision will cause performers around the province. The guidelines for the 2022 Virtual Provincial Festival will be distributed shortly. This was not an easy decision to make and we hope that you will continue to support the Provincial Festival by participating in our 2022 event.
