Each year, colourful new banners by local artists are produced to line the streets in Historic Downtown Fernie and then spend their second year along Hwy # 3. In 2014, the Out of the Box Dumpster project was created to bring art to unlikely places. Locations are constantly changing and can be found all around Fernie.
