Starbelly Jam Society
The Starbelly Jam Society (Business Registration Number 873990014RR0001) is a Canadian nonprofit organization based in Crawford Bay, British Columbia. Registered as a charitable entity, its mission is to "advance public appreciation of the arts by producing a music and arts festival, and providing a forum for qualified artists to exhibit, present, [and perform]"[4].

The society organizes the annual Starbelly Jam Music Festival, an event renowned for its intimate atmosphere and focus on community engagement. Described as "not too big and not too small," the festival emphasizes music, friendship, and family-friendly activities while maintaining a "safe and secure environment"[1]. Programming typically includes live performances by Canadian artists, such as the 2025 headliner Moontricks, alongside art exhibitions and workshops[1][2].

As a community-driven initiative, the society relies on sponsorships, donations, and volunteer support to operate. Volunteer applications open annually, with roles spanning event coordination, logistics, and guest services[5]. The organization also holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) to engage members and address operational matters[1][2].

The festival’s emphasis on artistic accessibility and local collaboration reflects its nonprofit ethos, aiming to cultivate cultural enrichment in the Kootenay region[1][4].
