Kaslo May Days Parade
May 19 @ 12:00 pm–2:00 pm PDT
Everyone loves a parade—especially our beloved Kaslo May Days Parade! Come out and cheer on our incredible local participants, including the Kootenay Kilties, local organizations, businesses, and our dedicated Emergency Service Providers.
We welcome everyone to join in the fun! However, for safety reasons, please do not throw candy from vehicles. In past years, this has led to unsafe situations with children running into the street. If you’re walking in the parade, you’re welcome to toss candy onto the sidewalks instead.
2025 Theme: 
CANADA
Show off your Canadian pride by wearing red and white, flying the flag, and designing a fantastic float!
Date & Time: Monday, May 19, at 12:00 PM sharp
Parade Route: The parade kicks off at the Kaslo Legion, traveling down historic Front Street, then along 4th Street to B Avenue before taking a second lap around the block. From there, it continues down Front Street, passing the beloved SS Moyie, and finishes at Vimy Park fairgrounds.
A Long-Held Tradition:
The JVH Graduating Class proudly takes the second-to-last spot in the parade. As tradition dictates, along the final stretch—from Front & 4th Street down to Vimy Park—spectators are welcome to toss small water balloons at the grads (water only, please!).
