But there is more to BC than these activities. If you are into music and would want to enjoy music-related activities as well, here are some of the things that you can do:

1.Take part in music festivals in BC.

Join a music festival in BC, such as Rifflandia, held in Victoria. This is one of the big music festivals in BC that is usually held in September. It is a big coming together of artists from different genres, so there is something for everyone here. Whether you are into pop or hip-hop or you have a long list of favorite EDM artists, you might be able to catch them at this festival in BC.

But more than just a music festival, it is also an event that allows visitors to have a deep dive into local culture. There are local artisans selling their products and food for those who want the whole experience.

2.Go to the Shambhala Music Festival.

This is a different kind of music festival just because it is held on a farm in the Kootenay Mountains. There are six stages where different music genres are going to be played by different artists. And just like Rifflandia, there will also be vendors selling and showcasing their art, craft, and food in this place.

3.Check out live music events.

There are music venues showcasing live music. Check out The Commodore Ballroom, Fortune Sound Club, and The Biltmore Cabaret. The live performances from various artists from the underground and indie music scene have captured the attention of many people.

4.Check out the folk music festivals.

Folk music is a part of the music culture of BC. In fact, there are festivals dedicated to them. Just check out the Vancouver Island Music Fest and the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival. These festivals bring artists from the folk music industry. These folk music festivals also bring together the local community.

In addition to these activities, you can also check out local pubs, restaurants, and bars. You will find many local artists performing live in these places. In addition to their live performances, you can even sample the local cuisine in these restaurants to get the complete experience.
