SUMMARY:Sarah Orton at Grist and Mash Brewery
DESCRIPTION:LIVE MUSIC: Thursday May 29th 7-9pm Sarah Orton returns to the Pine Box Stage at Grist & Mash Brewery.\nhttps://www.sarahortonvoice.com/music\n\nSarah’s early exposure to mainstream pop music as a child of the 90s\, the blues and rock’n’roll cassette tapes on rotation in the Ford Bronco driven by her hippy parents\, and her enigmatic Russian Doukhobor ancestry—a heritage preserved through psalm singing—all had a significant impact shaping her musical journey. Developing singing and performance as a profoundly spiritual and creative form of expression.\n\nBecause of this\, she has forged varying paths in the music industry as a versatile and dynamic vocalist\, songwriter\, nascent producer\, and diverse collaborator. The fruits of her labour can be heard in the alt-soul 4-piece collective Penny Shades\, with two self-produced EP’s backed by FACTOR Canada and Creative BC\, and performances at Kootenay Summer Festival favourites Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival\, Starbelly Jam\, and Nelson International Music Festival.\nNo stranger to the big stage\, Orton can also be found supporting vocals in nationally renowned electro-folk act Moontricks; Headlining numerous music festivals and sold-out venues in Western Canada\, such as Vancouvers legendary Commodore Ballroom\, Winnipeg Folk Fest\, Shambhala Music Festival\, Constellation Festival\, and Rifflandia.\nWith a full solo album brewing behind the scenes and a summer of festival shows ahead\, you’ll be glad to have stumbled onto the powerful and soulful timbre of Sarah in her most cherished place: song

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.

From there\, it continues down Front Street\, passing the beloved SS Moyie\, and finishes at Vimy Park fairgrounds. \n 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!). \n Want to Join the Parade?If your organization or business would like to participate\, we’d love to have you! Contact the Chamber Event Manager at thekaslochamber@gmail.com for details. \nPlease give a big thank you to volunteer Parade Marshall Mark Dobroski & let’s make the 2025 Kaslo May Days Parade a celebration to remember!

SUMMARY:Kaslo May Days Show and Shine
DESCRIPTION:The Kaslo Show and Shine was started by a small group of dedicated car buffs as a feature in the 1997 May Days celebrations held on the May long weekend every year. The inaugural event had approximately 15 vehicles on display and from that small beginning has been held every year since and has seen continuous growth to the point that in 2012 there were just under 100 registered cars covering the years from the 1930′s up to some exceedingly rare Mustangs from the 1960′s and 1970′s \nKaslo is a village of about 1000 people\, situated about an hours drive North of Nelson BC on the West Shore of Kootenay Lake and nestled between the Purcell mountains to the East and the Selkirk range to the West. For a small community Kaslo has an unusually high number of interesting and unique vehicles both in the village and in the surrounding area and has counted among its residents one of only two original Shelby Cobras licensed in BC amongst other interesting vehicles. \nOver the years the Show and Shine has began to attract cars from further afield and has seen cars from as far afield as Spokane\, Vancouver BC and the Prairie Provinces of Canada.

SUMMARY:Kaslo May Days
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Festival will take place May 17 to May 19\, 2025. \nWhether you’re new to Kaslo\, a long-time local\, or back for a visit over the Victoria Day long weekend\, Kaslo May Days feels like coming home. May Days—a celebration of the return of summer—has been part of the fabric of this community since 1892. Every year\, for three glorious\, fun-filled days\, the Kaslo & Area Chamber of Commerce serves as its proud host and steward. \nDuring May Days\, dozens of arts and crafts vendors set up booths at Vimy Park to sell their wares alongside artisan food producers\, craft beer\, and other gourmet treats. The park’s Gazebo becomes a stage for Music in the Park\, with a foot-tapping\, finger-snapping lineup of live music performances throughout the weekend. In keeping with tradition\, local children enact the Maypole Dance\, which just so happens to be the longest consecutive annual Maypole Dance in North America.  And it’s not just the park—during May Days\, the entire village of Kaslo is abuzz with events and activities. \nLogger Sports is a marquis May Days tradition in Kaslo\, and a spectator favourite. Competitors travel here from all over the continent to vie for prizes at this spirited two-day event\, which features competitions in Tree Climbing\, Log Rolling\, Axe Throwing\, and Springboard Chopping. If you’re new to May Days\, we can pretty much guarantee you’ve never seen anything like this before! \nShow ‘n’ Shine has been a part of May Days for more than 25 years. Typically held on Sunday\, hundreds of unique cars—from 1900s antiques to rare sports car icons like the AC Cobra—can be seen lining the streets of Kaslo’s historic downtown.
