s D y a Ma y 126th Annual Kaslo
May 18 - 21, 2018
Kaslo is buzzing with the excitement of our May Days celebration. Every year at this time since 1892 our sleepy little town wakes up! The first event to mark the dawn of summer and Queen Victoria's birthday took place one year before the Village of Kaslo was incorporated as The City of Kaslo, making 2018 the 126th consecutive year celebrating May Days in Kaslo. There’s so much to do and take in! Both Saturday and Sunday, spectators at Logger Sports are in for thrills as they watch the amazing focus and athletic skills of the competitors. At the centre of Vimy Park you can stroll through an outdoor market. Enjoy some ‘home cooking’ from the food trucks while you listen to live music, or take in a slo-pitch game. There are a number of old-fashioned games for the kids and a clown too. Take a helicopter ride and get a bird's eye view!

your May Days Bloom! WE'VE GOT ALL YOUR GARDENING EQUIPMENT UNDER ONE
Bigger and even better every year, the Show and Shine on Front Street is an amazing spectacle of unique and rare cars and antique engines. Monday morning is a great time to pick up local plants at the Garden Festival at the top of Front Street while you wait for the parade to start. Then tag along with everyone down to Vimy Park to watch the most beloved event of Kaslo May Days: the Maypole dance. In celebration of Kaslo’s 125th anniversary, new handmade costumes for the dancers were sewn by Elaine Richinger and new ribbons ordered from England. As a fundraising event to support this, there will be a sponsored dance executed by former Maypole dancers. It will take place on Monday, May 21st in the afternoon. Some of them are dancing with
