About 2 Rivers Remix
An Indigenous-led movement for music, contemporary culture, and community — born on the land, carried by the people.
We champion creative sovereignty and cultural resurgence — empowering Indigenous people of all Nations and all walks of life to tell their own stories, explore cultural identities, and build community through performances, workshops, and cultural collaborations.
Indigenous-led
Always free
In person + online
Three commitments guide every festival, feast, workshop and gathering we hold.
01
Educate, empower, and inspire Indigenous people of all Nations — especially youth, women, and 2-Spirit — to tell their own stories through contemporary Indigenous cultural expression.
02
Explore cultural collaborations, historical identities, and intersectional stories through original performances, workshops, and activities on Interior Salish territories and beyond.
03
Affirm creative sovereignty and cultural resurgence — making space for Indigenous worldviews to lead, on Indigenous terms.

Our service is to the people who are caretakers of the land we occupy.
Since its grassroots beginnings as a yearly celebration in Tl’kemtsin (aka Lytton, BC), 2 Rivers Remix has grown into a movement that brings together artists, audiences, and communities — creating spaces that celebrate Indigenous voices, strengthen connections, and imagine new futures together.
The beginning
2 Rivers Remix launched, producing the first two 2RMX free festivals at Tl’kemtsin (aka Lytton), co-hosted by Lytton First Nation — a yearly celebration of contemporary Indigenous music and culture, free for all.
Through the pandemic
Through both pandemic years we presented a 3-day 2RMX Virtual Feast, streaming online to keep supporting Indigenous artists, crews, and communities through a difficult time.
Our host and home community of Tl’kemtsin / Lytton was consumed by a human-caused, climate-emergency-fuelled fire — a loss that reshaped the path ahead.
A year of transitions
Returning to in-person audiences while continuing to live-stream, we moved our main feast from the razed community of Tl’kemtsin to St’uxwtèws / Cache Creek. A completely free, 3-day outdoor feast of contemporary Indigenous music and culture — hosted by the Bonaparte First Nation and the Secwépemc Nation, July 8–10 — alongside outdoor Indigenous art exhibitions.

Movable Feast theme
Our Movable Feast theme reflected the ongoing trauma in all Indigenous communities following the tragic confirmation of thousands of unmarked child graves at former Indian Residential School sites. Despite climate-emergency-fuelled flooding, fire evacuations, and other tragedies that forced four events to relocate at the last minute, we expanded our collaborations to 10 different communities.
Interior to coast
2 Rivers Remix travelled to four communities throughout the Interior, then closed the summer with an Island tour — reaching three remote communities on Vancouver Island.

Confluence & resilience
We kicked off the season early with back-to-back Confluence gatherings — Pt. 1 in Lək̓ʷəŋən Territory (Victoria, BC) and Pt. 2 in Splatsin (Enderby, BC) — and brought the Movable Feast back to all three remote Vancouver Island communities. The climate emergency impacted three of our multi-day festivals: our Indigenous Peoples Day celebration was postponed and then cancelled amid multiple wildfires, and Day 2 of our premier Festival was called off due to a severe rain and wind storm. We hope to return to these communities in 2027.
