Salty Hearts May 1-2, 2026

SALTY HEARTS MUSIC FESTIVAL MAY 1-2, 2026

Salty Hearts is a cozy, salty, slightly feral little sister to Pachena Bay.

Same coast. Same crew. Saltier vibe.

Expect live bands echoing through downtown Bamfield, DJs and fires at Pachena Bay Campground, and music naturally woven through the town itself. Cold dips. Sauna hangs. Jam sessions. Short rides in little boats. Long conversations in beautiful places. Connections that start on the dance floor and end by the fire. Let's get cozy!

This year, we’re welcoming families and expanding daytime programming, including collaborations with the Bamfield Marine Science Centre and other local points of interest.

Camping is “by the site” (not festival-style camping like Pachena). Once you rent a campsite, you can bring your vehicle, trailer, crew, and settle in for the weekend however you want. Campground rules apply.

Don’t like camping? No Prob.

Festival in style at the Hacas Inn—turning your front door into a front-row seat for all the bands at the Hacas Stage.
