Sima Festival is a winter celebration that uses art, community engagement, and environmental advocacy to spark meaningful change.
Through performances, workshops, gatherings, artistic events and outdoor activities focused on local issues and creative expression, Sima brings communities together to address what matters most to them, and their environment.
Upholding winter as a time for introspection and reconnection, this event uplifts individuals and communities as environmental leaders by placing immense value on their lived experience of the territory.
Sima is centered on building community during the darkest months of the year to drive meaningful slow-change for a more interconnected and resilient future.
The 3rd edition of the festival will be held in Terrace, BC (CA) with activities in Hazelton & Kitsumkalum
from January 15th to 19th, 2025.
