discover some of Canada’s most defining historical moments and meeting incredible people who are passionate about the wild places they call home. Nordic ski through a forest or paddle across marshes and lakes, where it’s surprising to find another soul. Communities like Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Quesnel have their own charm, and many opportunities to unlock a bounty of outdoor and cultural adventures.  </p> <p dir="ltr">The Chilcotin region is place that evokes images of Canada’s past surrounded by some spectacular natural beauty - from waterfalls to hoodoos. And it’s all just a four-hour drive from Vancouver.  <br> Keep heading west and you’ll be at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. There is a lifetime of exploring to do along this coast rich in biodiversity. The Great Bear Rainforest, alone, is a treasure of remote islands and settlements that will make you feel you’re in a magical place and think, could this really be Canada?</p></div> <div class="share-wrapper"> <div class="shadow border rounded share-wrapper-inner p-3"> <h3>Share</h3> <div class="sharethis-wrapper"> <span st_url="https://www.festivalseekers.com/region/cariboo-chilcotin-coast" st_title="Cariboo Chilcotin Coast" class="st_facebook_hcount" displayText="facebook"></span> <span st_url="https://www.festivalseekers.com/region/cariboo-chilcotin-coast" st_title="Cariboo Chilcotin Coast" class="st_twitter_hcount" displayText="twitter"></span> </div> </div> </div> <div style="margin-top: 30px;"> <div class="field field--name-field-related-festivals field--type-viewsreference field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="views-element-container"><div class="masonry-card-columns view view-festivals-related-by-region-term view-id-festivals_related_by_region_term view-display-id-block_1 js-view-dom-id-68a30c8cecc64a39f41b0c92e0835c7cf228f8352095890ad7950446840522d4"> <div class="view-header"> <h2>Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Festivals</h2> </div> <div class="view-content"> <div class="masonry-item views-row"><div class="node node--type-festival node--view-mode-teaser ds-1col clearfix" onclick="location.href='/festival/hot-july-nights'"> <div class="border rounded shadow inner"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image-intro field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><div class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-teaser-story ds-1col clearfix" onclick="location.href='/media/1289'"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/5x4_teaser_webp/public/bikesinpark2011.jpg.webp?itok=A84igS-Y" width="400" height="320" class="image-style-_x4-teaser-webp" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-content p-3"> <div > <h3> <a href="/festival/hot-july-nights" hreflang="en">Hot July Nights</a> </h3> </div> <div class="bundle-type code"> Festival </div> <div class="festival-dates"> <time datetime="2025-07-18T15:00:00Z" class="datetime">Fri.
