We had high hopes for Massif’s 10th anniversary. The weekend exceeded them in every way! Old friendships renewed and new bonds forged. Generations of fans moshing together and lifting each other up. An infusion of love and energy to face a challenging world. Finding inspiration to live authentically. Truly a celebration of 10 years of Massif magic.

We have so many thanks to give. Here are a few.

To the bands and performers: One. Incredible. Set. After. Another. All of you absolutely killed it.

To the fans: You brought the energy all weekend. Massif couldn’t happen without you. And you really showed your support at the merch tables!

To the Massif board, who worked all year to make this weekend special. And to our volunteers, who are so generous with their time and effort.

To our presenter, Backroads Brewing, and all our community sponsors. Local support keeps Massif alive. We wouldn’t have made it a decade without all of you.

To our venues: Eagles Lodge, the Royal and the Nelson and District Youth Centre. Thanks for providing space for the community to come together.

To our funders: West Kootenay Arts Council, BC Arts Council, Columbia Basin Trust, Nelson and Kootenay Lake Tourism, and the Nelson & District Credit Union. Thanks for recognizing the importance of inclusive, all-ages community events.

Love you all. Massif Forever.
