Banff's arts and entertainment scene offers something for everyone, from an evening of high culture onstage at The Banff Centre, to a night of dancing to live music at a favourite pub.

Visitors and residents alike are delighted by the quantity, diversity and calibre of performing arts and entertainment attractions, especially considering Banff's small size and population.

Banff's thriving nightlife features everything from live country/rock to Celtic and Maritime, to the classic piano bar.

Music, theater and dance activity focuses around the stages of The Banff Centre, especially during the Banff Summer Arts Festival from May through August each year.

The town is also well served throughout the year by art galleries, presentations and readings, movies and cinema.
