ARTS AND CULTURE

With a growing cultural scene primed by festivals, galleries, exhibitions and performances, discover a thriving community of mountain creatives.

From May to October, bump shoulders at the bustling Farm and Craft Markets on Mackenzie Ave as you shop for local crafts, art, and fresh food. Then, every night, Grizzly Plaza is alive with the Summer Street Fest which hosts concerts through July and August. From Celtic music to hip hop, the music spreads out in all directions. Want more? Carry on to a solid selection of other venues to find something being played live many nights of the week, year round. Or take it upscale by grabbing one of 275 seats in the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre as it hosts speakers, concerts, theatre, dance, spoken word and independent films from fall through to spring. Also be sure to swing into the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre on the first Friday evening of every month (March to December) where you can meet artists during exhibition opening nights.

Revelstoke’s newest public art initiative launched in 2019 aims to tranform our downtown alleyways into outdoor art galleries. A legacy project by the organisers of LUNA Festival, Art Alleries revitalize dark and disused places into thriving public spaces. Go see for yourself, located on an alleyway between Connaught and Mackenzie Ave right in downtown Revelstoke.
