Find your rhythm.
The gregarious and fun loving nature of a mountain town spills over from outdoor activities to festivals and cultural events. Inspiring for artists and musicians alike, Fernie. resonates to the sound of a ukulele or snare drum, a voice raised in song or feet pounding the earth to a catchy tune. Coined by Fernie’ s own Shred Kelly, the sound is Stoke Folk, and it is the essence of the mountains;. energetic yet relaxed, simple yet evocative.
Cultural, arts, and music events for all ages fill the calendar all year-round. Children thrill to the colour and energy of up-close live bands and entertainers at outdoor locations and venues in the warmer months, including the lively Wednesday Outdoor Concert Series in July & August. As evening falls, local venues come alive with jam and trivia nights, author and artist receptions, local and international bands, and guest DJs. The atmosphere is inviting and the welcome is warm – find your rhythm in Fernie at any time of the year.
