Saskatoon Tod

Mount Washy's resident vinyl DJ, Saskatoon Todd always knows how to bring the energy and kick off a party strong. A familiar face on the mountain, Todd sets the tone with feel-good tracks, warm vinyl sound, and knows exactly how to get the mountain in the mood.

Tightrope

Back for their second round at Washy Mountain Music Fair, Tightrope is ready to bring the blues back to the mountain. This energetic Vancouver Island trio is known for lively festival and venue performances across the Island, serving up tight grooves, big energy, and the kind of set that gets people moving.

Amy Muloin & The Alley Flowers

Cumberland’s Amy Muloin delivers low-slung, laid back indie folk with a blues rock/alt-country vibe. With a fresh, haunting, and profoundly honest voice reminiscent of Lucinda Williams and Stevie Nicks, she’s been writing and performing original music for a number of years in and around Vancouver Island with her band The Alley Flowers.

Blow at High Dough

4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Blow at High Dough

The Hip's catalogue deserves a mountain, and Blow at High Dough are here to give it one. This tight-knit cover band brings the full Tragically Hip experience.

GDBC

6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

GDBC

Brad Tidswell and Gord Kushner on guitars and vocals, Tyler Gibson on keyboards and vocals, Eric Stephenson on bass, Jeffrey Kornblum on percussion, Ed Johnson and Liam MacDonald on drums, and Dianna Knight on vocals.

Free Camping

Keep the good times rolling and stay the night on the mountain.

Free overnight camping will be available in designated event camping areas. Camping is rustic and best suited for self-contained vehicles, with no power or water hookups available. Overnight camping for special events is typically relocated to Lot 4, and overnight parking is not permitted in Lots 1, 2, or 3.

Please come prepared, pack out what you pack in, and leave the mountain looking just as lovely as you found it. No campfires are permitted on Mount Washington property.

More camping details and arrival information will be shared closer to the event.


Activities & Mountain Fun

Between sets, wander the fair and get into a little alpine weirdness. We'll also be running our regular summer operations, so you can mix the music with Bike Park laps, ZipTour flights, Scenic Chairlift rides, and some groovy craft and shopping fun.

  • Bracelet making
  • Arcade games
  • Tie-dye fun with Kindred
  • West & Co's thrift shop is back
  • More funky fair features to be announced
