Celebrate our summer evenings with Street Fest 2015!

By David F. Rooney
Revelstoke’s signature summer event Street Fest 2015 kicked off on Friday with the skirling pipes of the Revelstoke Highland Pipe Band followed by the Community Band and Relative Jazz.
It was a perfect evening for this first concert of the summer and lots of tourists mingled with locals enjoying the music.
If you have never experienced Street Fest you should know that its concerts, from 6:30 to 9:30 pm every evening, are absolutely free. The Revelstoke Arts Council organizes this event and always has a terrific mix of local bands and solo performers with groups and singers from out of town. Street Fest runs from Friday, April 26, until Sunday, August 30.
