Revelstoke Farmers Markets
Every Saturday | May 3 – Oct 25

Revy Live Outside

This is Revelstoke’s summer soundtrack. Every night for over two months, live music takes over Grizzly Plaza in the heart of downtown. Local and touring musicians hit the stage for free all-ages shows, just bring your dancing shoes and a good vibe.
Revy Paddle Fest

Three days of water-based fun! Whether you’re here to race, learn, or simply soak up the vibe, this festival brings together paddlers of all levels and outdoor lovers of all kinds. Expect adrenaline-pumping kayak and SUP races on Class II to IV rapids, family-friendly ball races, pocket paddles, and river clean-up initiatives. Off the water, you’ll find community yoga, mindfulness and movement classes, nature-focused talks, a beer garden, live music, and even movie premieres and world-class art. Come for the water – stay for the culture.
