Fernie, BC Travel Guide 2019/2020 | Page 8

Lively festivals & events. Fernie resonates to the sound and feel of Stoke Folk. Coined by local musical legends Shred Kelly, it is the essence of the landscape; energetic yet relaxed, simple yet evocative. The gregarious and fun-loving nature of our mountain town spills over from outdoor activities to lively festivals, events, competitions, and down-right fun entertainment. Filling the calendar year-round with colour and energy, your Fernie experience will be amplified by joining in. Enjoy arts, music and heritage events or take in the regular live music as it flows from outdoor venues to local bars. Festivals for children, trivia and comedy nights, author receptions and gallery openings add to a cultural diversity that is welcoming and warm. 8
