Events around Fernie

Winter is a special time to get out and experience all that Fernie has to offer. The beauty of our winter wonderland will certainly call many people outdoors, but for those who want to stay warm and do something fun indoors, there are lots of craft fairs, art galleries and museum exhibits to check out. Also, be sure to check the schedules at our local bars for musical events! Here are some indoor activities to consider if you are passing through town in the winter months.
