Telus Festival

Posted by ewanwallace 1 February 2006

10 days and nights of major pro ski and snowboard contests, live concerts (on a massive open-air stage in the town centre) and various arts events.

They claim that this is Canada’s largest free outdoor concert series, and this year’s runs from 14th-23rd April.
