Spectacular Scenery

Come to British Columbia's beautiful Sunshine Coast and explore the wonderful world of fibre.

Whether you're an experienced fibre artist, keen novice or just appreciate high quality art and crafts, the Festival has lots to offer you, with workshops, exhibits, merchant and artisan markets, demonstrations and entertainment.

Set amid spectacular mountain-to-sea scenery in picturesque Gibsons Landing, the Festival is known for its friendly atmosphere. Now in its ninth year, it has grown to become western Canada's leading fibre event.

LOTS FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AND DO

There is plenty to see and doworkshops, juried exhibit & sale, merchant mall, juried artisan market, entertainment, demonstrations, tours, and more. You'll find a wide range of fibre arts, including basketry, dyeing, knitting, quilting, needle arts, paper arts, rug hooking, spinning, weaving, and woodworking.

We welcome you to the Gibsons Landing Fibre Arts Festival, presented by Howe Sound Pulp & Paper Limited Partnership. We especially want to welcome the many teachers from around BC and across Canada who will bring their diverse talents to the Festival.
