      History


      The first Motion Notion was held in a warehouse in Calgary, Alberta, in 2000.
      Partly as a result of the City of Calgary's extended dance bylaw, and a change in direction to host outdoor events rather than indoor, Motion Notion moved out of the city to a rural setting.
      Subsequent years saw the festival move to various sites around Western Alberta, including Nojack, Evansburg and Drayton Valley.
      The festival then moved to Golden, BC, which would remain its home for many years.
      In 2018, organizers announced the festival would be moving to Merritt, BC, where it was held that year. For various reasons the festival was put on hold and then cancelled in 2019.


      Location


      The 2018 Motion Notion festival was held on the Coldwater Fields Festival Grounds located in Merritt, British Columbia.
