Ponderosa Arts & Music Festival 2016 is just 11 days away. The all ages, independent fest takes place in Rock Creek, B.C. This year marks the fourth edition of Ponderosa, and 2016’s festival runs August 19 to 21.
This year’s lineup features everything from reggae to indie rock, and includes Timber Timbre, The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer, The Pack AD, Black Mountain, Royal Canoe, Louise Burns, The Belle Game, Stickybuds and many more.
2015’s festival was cancelled due to a wildfire in the area - the Rock Creek wildfire, which was British Columbia’s largest interface fire of 2015. Festival founders, Kris Hargrave and Kia Zahrabi, have consistently made efforts to assist the fire victims, and in keeping with that, proceeds from this year’s ticket sales will be donated to the Rock Creek and Westbridge Needs fund.
