TH nnual Kasl o 125 A
MAY 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 was planned one year before the Village of Kaslo was incorporated as The City of Kaslo, making 2017 the 125th consecutive year that Kaslovians have invited everyone to celebrate May Days with them. There’s so much to do and take in! The raw-ther unusual Steampunk crowd will be organizing activities and theatrics all weekend long. Join in the Steampunk Quest! Both Saturday and Sunday spectators at Logger Sports are in for thrills as they watch the amazing athletic skills of the competitors. Just nearby, the sawdust will be flying as Ryan Cook carves monumental cedar sculptures with his chainsaw. 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 watch a puppet show populated by giants, or take in a slo-pitch game. Take a helicopter ride and get a bird's eye view! Bigger and even better now in its 20th 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
live music all weekend! 250 -353-7714
