There’s an abundance of year-round outdoor adventures on the doorstep of Cranbrook and Kimberley – from snow play to mountain biking and long walks in the woods. All so good for the soul. But there’s another pastime we all need and one we should do locally – especially now — and that’s some retail-therapy.

Ooooh, Halloween - the time of year kids and cosplayers plan for months in advance. Costumes are designed, parties are planned and for the kids, the most bountiful routes through the neighbourhood are plotted. Yes, well, the tables have turned this year.

Get your tastebuds ready for the #EatLocalYXC Festival happening in Cranbrook and Kimberley beginning Oct. 22 and running through Nov. 15, giving locals the chance to connect with their community and support local restaurateurs during a series of behind-the-scenes Facebook Live events and showcase menus. 

B.C.'s southern Rockies has plenty of reasons to do a little showing off any time of year with its gorgeous natural beauty and laid-back small-towns vibe. As we head into fall and winter, join us for a first-ever online event that will showcase the vibrancy of local businesses and services during the #LiveLocal #EatLocalYXC Festival kicking off this month in the Cranbrook, Ktunaxa and Kimberley region.

Folks in Alberta’s northeast may be more humble and less self-promoting, but they are equally as deserving of attention.

To help drive some attention to these very deserving creative spirits, FestivalSeekers & ZenSeekers are expanding our #TakeItToTheLake efforts by bringing you a new festival!

This summer's festivals are postponed, but that doesn't mean they're gone forever. We're getting stoked for next year's festivals - check out some amazing events to look forward to next year. 

This summer put your feet up at home, kick back on a lawn chair, or tune in from your desk to virtually explore local business and experiences in north eastern Alberta’s Lac La Biche County in the first-ever #LLBCOnline Festival! 

This year, Canada Day celebrations are more like a choose-your-own-adventure novel where you can end up in any number of cities for a virtual celebration. 

Just because we're sticking close to home, doesn't me we can't explore beyond.

Try these 6 virtual festivals and events in June that will give you a new perspective on small-town Alberta, BC wine country, coastal creatures, music, and film.

Distant drumming and high, dusty falsetto singing carry on the wind. We pass through the shadows of the covered stands, sun gracing the meadows, swirls of colour flying in all directions as drums swell and surge, urging the dancers on. This is how I remember Canada Day 2019, arriving at the Beaver Lake Cree Nation's annual pow wow.

It's like fireworks, only better!

Like any season from ski season, golf season, baseball, football…any of them, any aficionado gets itchy feet as the season comes closer. So, it’s no surprize that festival lovers are anticipating the season. Who will be on the line-up at your favourite festival? Only the organizers and the singer’s agents know for sure.

You’ve been there before – standing at the gates or waiting in line among several or hundreds of others. Then someone pulls open their backpack and takes out their wireless mobile charging stand. Of course! That’s what you forgot to bring!

Ever wonder how Whistler Blackcomb got its name? It’s a cool story that reaches way back into the geological past of the Coastal Mountain range and has something to do with a punk hairstyle.

Festival season is here and that means road trip!

If you're the one packing up the car, have we got a few great ideas and some cool gear that will make to a breeze and have you on your way no time.
