Did we mention food trucks and beer? \nThe festival features workshops and an art competition organized by Cranbrook Arts. An artisan market\, in collaboration with the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market\, will offer local crafts and goods\, providing a perfect spot to discover unique items and support local artisans. \nThis year’s festival embraces the whimsical history of Ed the elephant\, who famously escaped from a traveling circus in Cranbrook nearly a century ago. Festivities will include a downtown “stampede” with a large puppet of Ed\, and attendees are encouraged to wear carnival-themed costumes to join in the fun. \nWhether you are an art enthusiast\, a music lover\, or simply looking for a family-friendly event\, Ed Fest 2025 promises something for everyone. \nMark your calendars for September 5th and 6th at Rotary Park\, Cranbrook\, and join the celebration of community and creativity. \nLearn more: https://www.edfest.ca/ URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/ed-fest-3/ LOCATION:Rotary Park Cranbrook\, Cranbrook CATEGORIES:Art,Calendar,Community Events,Kid Friendly,Live Performance,Markets/Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://genexsites.s3.ca-west-1.amazonaws.com/05/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2025/08/25102743/EdFest.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Key City Theatre":MAILTO:info@keycitytheatre.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250905 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250907 DTSTAMP:20260403T125132 CREATED:20250903T013821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250903T013821Z UID:19149-1757030400-1757203199@www.wkartscouncil.com SUMMARY:Creston Fall Fair Sept 5 and 6\, 2025 DESCRIPTION:Creston’s Fall Fair is hosting an Artisan’s Alley as well as Horse events this year.\nMahood Sculptures is among the many Kootenay Artists who will be\nshowing their art and speaking to people.\nCreston Valley Fall Fair runs Friday\, Sept 5th from 10 am to 9 pm.\nSaturday from 10 am to 4 pm.\ntickets are $ 10 URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/creston-fall-fair-sept-5-and-6-2025/ LOCATION:Creston Flats Stables\, 633 Indian Road\, Creston\, BC CATEGORIES:Calendar,Community Events,Markets/Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://genexsites.s3.ca-west-1.amazonaws.com/05/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2025/09/02183620/IMG_0361-rotated.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250906T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250906T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T125132 CREATED:20250609T173440Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250902T222620Z UID:16635-1757156400-1757160000@www.wkartscouncil.com SUMMARY:Saturday Bunker tours DESCRIPTION:During the height of the Cold War\, in the 1950s and 1960s\, nearly 50 bunkers were constructed across Canada.
