Coaltown Festival is held in Diana Krall Square in the downtown core of the city; Commercial street will be shut to traffic but parking is available beneath the new Vancouver Island Conference Centre. 2010’s festival includes two music stages and the Nanaimo Museum’s newly opened Coal Mine Experience, plus an artist’s “Paint – Out”.

Remember... don't forget to invite your out-of-town friends or relatives to show off our amazing part of the world. Admission to the festival is free. We want to ensure that the Festival is affordable to anyone who wants to go. Donations gratefully accepted and a portion of the proceeds will go to Nanaimo RCMP Victim Services. See you there!
