Kaslo is buzzing with the excitement of
our May Days celebration. Every year
at this time since 1892 our sleepy little
town wakes up!
The first event to mark the dawn of
summer and Queen Victoria's birthday
took place one year before the Village of
Kaslo was incorporated as The City of
Kaslo, making 2019 the 128th consecu-
tive year celebrating May Days in Kaslo.
There’s so much to do and take in! Both
Saturday and Sunday, spectators at Log-
ger Sports are in for thrills as they watch
the amazing focus and athletic skills of
the competitors.
In Vimy Park you can stroll through
an outdoor market, enjoy some ‘home
cooking’ from the food trucks while you
listen to live music, or take in a slo-pitch
game. There are old-fashioned games for
the kids and a clown too. Take a helicop-
ter ride and get a bird's eye view!
Bigger and even better every year, the
Show and Shine on Front Street is an
amazing spectacle of unique and rare
cars and antique engines.
Monday morning is a great time to pick
up local plants at the Garden Festival at
the top of Front Street while you wait for
the parade to start. Then tag along with
everyone down to Vimy Park to watch
the most beloved event of Kaslo May
Days: the Maypole dance.
Special thanks, as always, go to the par-
ent volunteers, teachers and musicians
who give up their time to support this
tradition. It is good to know that the
dance is well supported to continue for
another 128 years!
