Friday Pemberton Music Festival Photos

Camping out under the cover of the comedy tent at Pemberton Music Festival, every performer commented on the weather on Friday, which seemed to change every 5 minutes. One thing they also had in common, was an appreciation for the setting and the very welcoming crowd.

Sunshine and wind, and a bit of drizzle that turned into a spectacular double rainbow that spanned the Pemberton valley. It didn’t matter if I was taking my jacket off and putting it back on like a dance move, the music was great, the comedy was hilarious, and the vibes were oh so good.

Flower crowns, tutus as hats, a sign cutout of Ellen Degeneres, ponchos, pirates, and sparkles. Festival fashions were on point as crowds ebbed and flowed between the four main stages: Pemberton, Mount Currie, Bass Camp, and Whistle Blackcomb. We fuelled up with a delicious taco salad bowl from TRay’s taco truck, some craft beer from Granville Island brewing, and spent hours enjoying the music with a snow-dusted Mount Currie as a backdrop.

Crowds gathered en masse for Method Man & Redman, Kaskade and Hudson Mohawke on the Bass Camp stage. On the Pemberton stage, J Cole and FKA Twigs were big draws as well but during a fun-loving fest like Pemby, everyone is a crowd favourite.
