Chautauqua Cultural Festival & Fall Fair
Technically still in the last part of summer, this four-day local culture and art fest is held in mid-September. The annual celebration is put on by several community and city organizations and showcases regional art, music, food, and heritage. Enjoy some free live music from some of the best musicians in British Columbia, have lunch with renowned Canadian novelist Wayne Norton (author of Fernie at War), and learn all about the history of this magical place. Visit the fest’s website for more information and specific times of events!
Annual GillBilly Fest
For even more live music fun, make your way from one of the most convenient Fernie hotels down to the yearly GillBilly Fest! Held on the last September weekend, this unique festival sounds like what it is – a combo-celebration of fly fishing and old-time music. If you enjoy casting your line through the air or listening to the sweet melody of a well-worn mandolin, imagine an event combining both! Come experience the variety of music and fishing workshops in beautiful downtown Fernie.
Annual Dirt Diggler Downhill Race
With a vertical descent of over 3,500 feet, this free race is what mountain biking is all about! Take your time navigating down from the ridge to the valley, or ride like a pro and get some serious air. The professionals fly down the course, making the usual hour-long ride last about ten minutes! A small one-time membership fee is charged to ride, and a provided shuttle transports you to the top!
