Rendezvous Days
February 14, 2009 | Tips from Travellers > Fort Nelson, Festivals & Events
I attended Fort Nelson Trappers Rendezvous last year for the first time. What a fantastic authentic northern experience! A huge "snowdium" was great for the kids, while an ice sculpturing contest captivated locals and visitors alike. I was able to take in many breakfasts, dinners, and theme nights at local businesses, restaurants, and pubs, as well as participate in a myriad of contests and competitions - including an "anter toss", a hairy leg contest, and a variety night.
Many business owners dressed up for the event, and dressed up many times as it occured from mid-week and extended over the weekend.
I would recommend this festival for those seeking an authentic local experience, in an off-season time when you can see what really makes Fort Nelson tick!
Enjoy, and hope to see you there this year - march 4,5,6,7th, 2009.
