Thank you for your time in Merritt…
The Bass Coast Festival is happening this weekend in Merritt, British Columbia, from July 11-14, 2025.
Regarding proceeds and attendance:
Attendance:
Bass Coast Festival has capped its attendance at 6,500 people each year to maintain its community aspect and focus on the overall experience. This number includes artists, festival-goers, volunteers, and vendors.
Proceeds:
While specific overall proceeds for the 2025 festival aren’t publicly detailed, Bass Coast Festival is an independently owned and artist-run event. They have a strong commitment to community support, as evidenced by:
* Donations to the Nicola Valley Food Bank: Bass Coast has an annual fundraising compilation called “12 Days,” where 100% of proceeds from album sales are donated to the Nicola Valley Food Bank in Merritt. They also top up the amount to reach a specific goal (e.g., $2500 CAD in one instance, and a $22,000 donation in another).
* Donations to environmental organizations: Bass Coast has also donated Bandcamp proceeds to organizations like West Coast Environmental Law.
* Economic Impact: The festival significantly contributes to Merritt’s economy, generating an estimated $4 million for the local area.
Essentially, while the exact financial “proceeds” in terms of profit aren’t publicly disclosed, the festival is known for its community-focused approach and its positive economic impact on the host town, Merritt.

Tuesday Jazz Dr. Saxslove
A long ago traveler bought some peace.
As he thought of his youth he lamented tensions thought.
Why could I not have shook those moments?
Then he caught the drift and made a quick shift; not again you thief, back off that care.
What can be done I will, when can’t will I still.
In pleasant jazz and tensions flight.
My day will be right. KDG
