Kaslo is buzzing with the excite-ment of our May Days celebration! Every year at this time, our sleepy little town awakens and becomes a vibrant, engaging centre of activity. May Days brings together neigh-bours and friends to mark the end of a long, cold winter. This will be

the 122nd consecutive year Kaslo has celebrated the dawn of spring.

There’s so much to do and take in! Car buff or not, you'll surely agree that the Show and Shine on Front Street is an amazing spec-tacle of unique and rare cars. You’ll want to wander over to Vimy Park which is full of activities all weekend long! There’s a market offering great crafts, jewelry, artwork and yummy food. Enjoy some ‘home cooking’ while you listen to all sorts of live music or take in a slo-pitch game.

This year features not one, but

two days of our popular Logger Sports event, Saturday and Sunday. Can you imagine yourself taking a helicopter ride? Roller Derby, the horse show and the skateboarding competition offer ‘edge of your seat’ thrills!

On Monday, after the parade that goes around twice, the weekend fes-tivities culminate in the children’s May Pole dance.

Don’t forget to pull out your complimentary schedule, support-ed by the sponsoring businesses. We don’t want you to miss a thing!
