About CDFS

The Chase & District Festival Society (CDFS) was established in 2009 with a mandate to promote arts and culture throughout the area. As a non-profit we work to deliver programming that is inclusive, accessible, and reflective of our community.

To date, all of our events have been free or by donation, as we believe everyone should be able to experience the arts without a concern of affordability.

We also work to ensure that we feature a range of artists and performers from different backgrounds, genres, and mediums. As part of our selection criteria we aim to reflect the diversity of our community through delivery of experiences that appeal to youth, seniors, and Indigenous Peoples.

Our strategy for sustainability and growth relies heavily upon our fantastic working partnership with other community organizations. Aside from providing events and activities for the community to enjoy, we also support other groups and initiatives through financial and in-kind donations.
