Mudfest to return to Dawson Creek in 2026 after international trip

DAWSON CREEK, B.C. — Another year of mud-slinging fun is coming to Dawson Creek.

Mudfest 2026 will be returning to Dawson Creek for yet another year from July 3rd to 5th, 2026.  

The event is hosted on the Aasen family ranch just outside of Dawson Creek, at 187 Riverside Road in Pouce Coupe. 

Before returning to Dawson Creek, Mudfest travelled to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to host the event overseas.  

Billie Aasen, one of the organizers of Mudfest, reflected on the experience in conversation with Moose FM. 

“It was the most random thing of my entire life. I thought it was a scam at first,” Aasen said in a conversation with Moose FM’s program director and afternoon host Chris Walker. “I was like, ‘are you sure you want to bring all these Canadian rednecks into Abu Dhabi?’

“What was awesome is just the community and the family that we built at Mudfest. I called all the guys and nobody hesitated… I was just really proud to represent Canada on the world stage.” 

Mudfest is run solely by Aasen and her father. Aasen reflected on what Mudfest is all about. 

“Mudfest is really everything it means to celebrate being a small town Canadian.”

Aasen says Mudfest is all about seeing the community come together.

“I love seeing the kids come out with their parents…Nowadays we need that more than ever, we need to come together as a community and hangout person to person.”

The event includes extreme motorsport racing, games, camping and live music by Gob and Big Wreck. 

Those in attendance will be able to witness mega trucks, quads, ATVs, a mud run for charity and more. 

On-site camping is offered for those who wish to attend all three days of the event in Dawson Creek. 

An after-hours party will also be available for those looking to keep the good times rolling. 

Pre-sale tickets ranging from $46 to $694 are available on the Mudfest website.

Mudfest is also hosted in Cold Lake, Alberta and Moses Lake, Washington. 

Moose FM and Energeticcity.ca are owned by the same parent company, Moose Media.
