Built in the Kootenay Rockies

Wicked Woods takes place at Ravens Nest Resort and Campground near Fairmont Hot Springs. Its independent structure is part of the identity: artists, crews and returning guests help shape a festival that feels deliberately smaller and more connected than a large touring production.

Four stages, one shared site

The 2026 edition runs September 4 to 7 over the Labour Day weekend. Four stages carry the music, while visual art, workshops, performance, camping and artisan spaces give the wooded site its wider rhythm. Wicked Woods works because those pieces are not treated as side attractions. They form the community people return to, with electronic music as the signal running through it.
