Mission

Flight: A festival of dance between earth and sky, where communities connect. 

Flight Festival arose from a vision to create a festival integrating Black, Indigenous and legacy contemporary dance. Flight Festival values dance as a meeting ground for performance, experience and education that embodies vital social issues. 

Flight Festival is changing the landscape of dance in Prince Edward County by creating an annual outdoor festival that features and celebrates works by dynamic artists of diverse backgrounds and practices. 

We especially aim to honour the Kanien:kéha’ka people of the area. Honouring and learning about diverse ways of knowing and being is a guiding aim of the festival. 

The natural beauty of the area, and the lively art, culinary and culture scene enhance the lives of residents and are magnets for tourists from Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and beyond. Prince Edward County is ready for Flight, and welcomes our rural festival of fine contemporary dance under the big County sky.
