Wellness Festivals in Canada 2026: Complete Calendar and Guide

Your Complete Guide to Wellness Festivals Across Canada in 2026

Canada's wellness festival scene has grown steadily over the past decade.

Whether you are looking for a weekend immersion in spiritual growth, want to browse healing crystals at a gem show, or plan to spend five days doing yoga in the Ontario countryside, this guide maps out the wellness festivals in Canada for 2026 by season and region. We have researched dates, locations, ticket prices, and what to expect at each event so you can plan your year around the festivals that match your interests.

This calendar is organized by season to help you build your schedule. We have confirmed dates where available and included typical pricing based on previous years where 2026 details have not yet been announced. Always check the official event website before booking travel, as dates and pricing can shift.

Winter 2026: January and February Festivals

The show floor features product sampling, cooking demonstrations, fitness classes, and expert speaker panels. Past editions have drawn over 20,000 visitors across the weekend.

Summer 2026: June Through August Festivals

Summer is peak season for Canadian wellness festivals. The warm weather opens up possibilities for outdoor multi-day events with camping, open-air yoga, live music, and community gatherings. This is when the calendar gets busy, so plan ahead and book early for the events that interest you most.

BUMI Festival, Ontario

The BUMI Festival is one of Canada's most talked-about wellness and music festivals. Set on the grounds of Souls Path Retreat in rural Ontario, less than an hour from downtown Toronto, BUMI celebrates the five elements of nature through yoga, meditation, dance, live music, healing workshops, and cultural exchange. Over five days, participants move through grounding meditations at sunrise, yoga classes throughout the day, healing workshops in the afternoon, and live performances under the stars at night.

Past editions have featured international mystics, yoga teachers, kirtan artists, ecstatic dance facilitators, and sound healers alongside vendors selling crystals, handmade clothing, and wellness products. The festival has a strong community feel that participants often describe as a temporary village built around shared intention.

Accommodation options include bring-your-own-tent camping, car camping, and a limited number of cabins or glamping setups. Food vendors are on-site, though many attendees bring their own supplies. Buy early bird tickets when they go on sale, as prices increase in tiers and the festival has grown each year.

This is an excellent choice if you want to combine your interest in sound healing, yoga, meditation, and community connection in a single immersive experience. Pack layers for cool Ontario nights and bring a good sleeping pad.

Fall 2026: September Through November Festivals

This is also harvest season, and some events incorporate seasonal ceremony, gratitude practices, and nature connection.

Body Soul and Spirit Expo, National Tour

Because the Body Soul and Spirit Expo tours 12 cities, there is likely a show coming to your area during 2026. Each city's show runs for a weekend and features a mix of local and touring practitioners, vendors, and speakers covering psychic development, tarot, astrology, crystal healing, reiki, nutritional supplements, aromatherapy, and spiritual coaching.

For first-time attendees, the expo is an excellent opportunity to sample many different modalities in a single visit. Browse crystal vendors, receive a short psychic reading, attend a free workshop, and discover practitioners you might want to work with on an ongoing basis. If you live in a smaller city like Regina or Saskatoon, this touring expo brings practitioners and products to you that would otherwise require a trip to Toronto or Vancouver.

Check the expo website for the specific dates each city is scheduled for in 2026. If you are interested in metaphysical stores in Toronto or crystal shops in Vancouver, the Body Soul and Spirit Expo is a great complement to the local shops you already visit.

Montreal Gem and Mineral Show

Dates: October 2026 (exact dates TBD, typically a weekend in late October)
Location: Montreal, Quebec
Tickets: Approximately $5 to $10 per day

Full Calendar Overview for 2026

What to Expect at Different Types of Wellness Festivals

Not all wellness festivals are the same. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right events for your interests, comfort level, and budget.

Indoor Wellness Expos

Events like The Wellness Show, the Body Soul and Spirit Expo, and the Gem Expo are held in convention centres or hotel ballrooms. They run for one to three days and cost $5 to $25 for admission. Walk the show floor at your own pace, visit vendor booths, attend free talks, and purchase products, crystals, readings, or mini healing sessions. These events require no special preparation beyond comfortable shoes and a reusable bag.

Indoor expos are ideal for beginners and excellent for finding practitioners in your city. Many people discover their regular reiki practitioner, tarot reader, or crystal supplier at an expo.

Multi-Day Outdoor Festivals

Events like the BUMI Festival and Bhakti Bliss take place outdoors over several days. You camp on-site, attend yoga classes and workshops during the day, enjoy live music and kirtan in the evening, and participate in group meditations, ecstatic dance, and healing circles.

These festivals require more preparation: camping gear, weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent, a yoga mat, and enough supplies for the duration. The rewards match the effort, as the sense of community and depth of practice over several days creates something a single-day expo cannot replicate.

Retreat-Style Festivals

Events like the Banff Wellness Retreat and the Fairmont Lake Louise programs sit between expos and outdoor festivals. They offer structured programming in a comfortable setting with proper accommodation and amenities. The price point is higher, but you get a polished experience without needing camping gear.

Practical Tips for Attending Wellness Festivals in Canada

Wellness Festivals by Province: A Quick Reference

If your province is not listed above with a specific event, check the Body Soul and Spirit Expo tour schedule, as they add new cities and the touring calendar may expand. Eventbrite Canada (eventbrite.ca) is also an excellent resource for finding local wellness events, workshops, and fairs in any Canadian city.

How Wellness Festivals Connect to Your Personal Practice

Attending a wellness festival is not just about the event itself. It is about what you bring back to your daily life. A single day at a crystal expo can introduce you to a stone that becomes part of your daily meditation. A weekend at a yoga festival can connect you with a teacher who shifts how you practice at home.

If you attend a crystal or gem show, bring your new stones into your daily routine. Our guide to crystal healing stones can help you learn the properties of what you purchase.

If you attend a yoga festival, take notes on the teachers and styles that resonate with you. Look for their online classes or local workshops so you can continue learning after the festival ends.

If you attend a spiritual expo, follow up with practitioners who impressed you. Book a full session with the tarot reader whose mini reading felt on point. Schedule a complete reiki session with the practitioner whose energy felt right. Festivals are the introduction; the real work happens in the follow-up.

If you attend a multi-day outdoor festival, give yourself time to integrate the experience. Journal about it. Keep up the meditation practice you started at the festival. Stay in touch with the people you connected with through social media groups and local meetups.
