Video and photos: A busy Revelstoke arts weekend under wildfire smoke skies
Check out video from arts and culture events in Revelstoke from the weekend of Aug. 13–16, 2021.
It was a big arts and culture weekend in Revelstoke August 13-15, 2021.
Bites & Bevy in the Big Eddy kicked off with a craft market and arts fair on Friday. The Revelstoke LFI Farmers Market went ahead under wildfire smoke, and later on Saturday, Moontricks played the Guerrilla Gigs series in Queen Elizabeth Park.
For fun, we decided to play around with our TikTok account, which has been inactive until now.
Check out some images and video from the events here:
