West Metal

West Metal Entertainment Society is a not-for-profit society registered with Canada’s government. The purpose of the society is to provide places for musicians to perform on an entry or lower level and to give them opportunities to perform with larger name acts.

West Metal Entertainment Society’s largest annual event is Armstrong MetalFest. It’s held annually on the third weekend in July at the IPE grounds and Hassen Arena in Armstrong, BC.

Along with Armstrong MetalFest, West Metal Entertainment hosts several smaller concerts and fundraisers throughout the year. Most of these events are held in the North and Central Okanagan region of British Columbia.

There is a misconception not-for-profit means free. Unfortunately, this is not true. Not-for-profit simply means West Metal Entertainment Society makes no profit. There are operating costs such as hall rentals and PA rentals, to name a few. The Society collects funds through fundraisers and concerts to pay these bills and can keep funds for operating costs on hand. Anything over this is donated to charities or other not-for Profit organizations.
