The Squamish Constellation Festival returns to Hendrickson Field for a second year on July 24 – 26. On Thurs., Nov. 21, from 10 a.m., Earlybird passes for the weekend event will be on sale starting at $159 (plus service charges and fees) in limited quantities.
Festival co-founder and CEO Tamara Stanners said the inaugural event in 2019 was a success at all levels: “Everyone had such an amazing time. Our first year was a dream come true – for the fans, the artists, and all levels of production – we exceeded everyone’s expectations and we can’t wait to do it all again next summer.”
Presented by Aquila Constellation Festival Productions, the festival brought a large-scale weekend music event back to Squamish after the previous Squamish Music Festival was shelved by producers in 2016. Four local Squamish-based producers put together the new event which featured a wide range of name acts such as Dear Rouge and Jessie Reyez as well as up and coming talent such as Art d’Ecco and the Modelos, Jessicka and the Hunting. The 2020 festival aims for 40 bands, songwriter’s workshop, mural painting and more.
The first Squamish Constellation Festival was certified by AWARE as the largest zero-waste festival in B.C. with a 94% diversion rate.
The line-up for the 2020 event will start to be released when the general admission passes go on sale after Feb. 28.
A layaway option is available with five tiers of weekend pass prices. Once the $159 earlybird passes are gone, prices go up in increments until the three-day pass at the gate price, which will be $279 plus charges.
