About Contact Winter Music Festival
Contact Winter Music Festival returns to Vancouver on 26 and 27 December 2026, the city’s largest indoor electronic event and a fixture of the week between Christmas and New Year on the Canadian west coast. The festival has run since the 2010s and has built an audience that treats the dates as fixed.
The programming spans house, bass music and the main stage end of electronic music across multiple rooms, which is how a two day indoor event fills a convention scale space in a city of this size. Botnek and other Canadian acts have played previous editions with films published afterwards.
Tickets and the venue are published through the festival’s own site. Vancouver in late December is wet and around 6 degrees, which makes an indoor festival the only sensible proposition, and the city’s transit runs late across both nights. Vancouver International connects directly to Asia, Europe and across North America. For a Canadian winter music festival, Contact owns the holiday week in British Columbia.
