About our festival
Every year on August Long Weekend we come together to celebrate musicians, sideshow performers, dancers and artisans alike.
The Fire & Water Music Festival offers two stages featuring independent music, artist workshops and children’s programming that is fun for all ages.
Many of our fans plan their summer around this weekend, with regular fans coming in from all over Canada and as far away as Europe. Our 2014 Festival weekend even included a wedding!
With the backdrop of the Winnipeg River, The Fire & Water Music Festival in Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba is something that you don’t want to miss.
The People Behind the Scenes
The Fire & Water Music Festival is a non-profit organization run by a dedicated group of volunteers who have committed countless hours to ensure the success of the Fire & Water Music Festival. Over the years, our volunteers have become friends and family many of whom spend countless hours together outside of creating the festival weekend. We are lucky to have so many great people on our team!
You can Join the Family Too
Every year our Board of Directors and our team of Section Group Leaders work diligently to plan, organize and execute all aspects of the Fire & Water Music Festival. We are always on the lookout for talented, well organized, self-starters to join our team. Whether you would like to help out and co-lead one of our more elaborate sections, can fill one of our vacant spots or feel that your skills could benefit our team we’d love to hear from you.
