Welcome to the North Island Festival of Performing Arts (NIFPA), where the stage comes alive with the boundless creativity and remarkable talents of dedicated students from across Vancouver Island. For nearly half a century, we’ve been providing a platform for young performers to shine. From breathtaking ballet to electrifying hip-hop, we’ve got it all under one roof at the Sid Williams Theatre in Comox Valley.

Thank you to all the participants, teachers, families and volunteers that took part in our 2024 NIFPA festival. Good luck to all the Provincial Festival participants!

We’re proud to be part of the esteemed Performing Arts BC family. Every year, outstanding dancers receive the honour of representing our local festival at the BC Provincial Festival. It is a thrilling opportunity for these dancers to represent NIFPA and compete at the provincial level as well as learn from experienced dance educators and adjudicators. We’re excited to announce that the 2024 BC Provincial Festival will be held in Fort St. John, June 2 to 6th, promising an unforgettable experience for all.

NIFPA is more than a festival; it’s a nurturing ground for budding talents. We’re committed to fostering the growth of these gifted youth, empowering them to enhance their skills, knowledge, and self-confidence in their chosen discipline. Our performances unite diverse Vancouver Island communities in celebration of a shared passion, giving the public a chance to marvel at the extraordinary talent that graces our island.
