S,DÁYES • PENDER ISLAND
Forest Fest
Find us ‘In the Pines!’
The main festival entrance is straight past the parking lot of the Community Hall. This is the entrance for all festival attendees, camping, and accessibility parking, which is just past the ticket tent. Festival Parking is located in the Community Hall parking lot.
Mosaic Festival is located on North Pender Island, also known as S,DÁYES in the SENĆOŦEN language of the W̱SÁNEĆ (Saanich) First Nations. One of the meanings of S,DÁYES is “wind drying,” referring to the drying of the salmon. We are grateful to the stewardship of these lands by the Coast Salish nations since time immemorial.

Be Mindful
Our new site is private property, so please treat it as such. Smoking is only permitted in the designated smoking pit sponsored by Pender Naturals. The smoking pit will be located just past the festival entrance on the right hand side.
We will have garbage, recycling and compost receptacles throughout the site. Bring your own reusable water bottles as we will have water stations around the site.
Dogs Allowed
Yes, you can bring your dog(s)! Please be a responsible owner: Keep your pooch on a leash, check your surroundings for people with allergies or fears, and be prepared to leave the premises if they act out, show aggressive behaviour, or distract people from performances with their barking.
Please take your dog outside the festival grounds to do their business, clean up after them, and take your baggies with you! Don’t throw them in the garbage or we’ll have a very smelly festival 🫣
Water for your pooch will be beside the human drinking water stations.
