Filomi Days

Filomi Days is Port Hardy's flagship community festival, a beloved summer tradition whose name honours the town's founding industries of Fishing, Logging and Mining. Held annually on the third weekend of July, the 2027 celebration is expected to run July 16 to 18, centred on Carrot Park and the waterfront. The multi-day festival packs in something for everyone: live music, a parade, food and craft vendors, a beer garden, children's activities, a logger sports show, fireworks over the harbour, and community gatherings that bring residents and visitors together to celebrate life on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. It is a highlight of the North Island summer and a wonderful way for travellers to experience Port Hardy's coastal culture, hospitality and heritage. Admission to the grounds and most activities is free, making it a welcoming, family-friendly weekend for all ages. The festival showcases the resilience and community spirit of this remote coastal town, which also serves as a gateway to the Great Bear Rainforest and BC's northern coast. Because the exact 2027 dates follow the traditional third-weekend-of-July pattern and are confirmed closer to the event, visitors should check the Port Hardy and Filomi Days channels for the finalized schedule before planning their trip.
