Performing arts and theatre are a vibrant part of community life in the Kootenay Rockies. The Key City Theatre in Cranbrook regularly welcomes professional touring artists from Canada and around the world. The curtains of the Capitol Theatre open wide, not only for Nelson, but also for the entire Kootenay Rockies region. A 426-seat auditorium is centre stage for community theatre, recitals, dance troupes and much more. Music and nature provide the inspiration for the Kaslo Jazz Etc. Summer Music Festival, where world-class musicians play on a floating stage on pristine Kootenay Lake.
Don't miss the nightly summer street entertainment in July and August in Revelstoke nor the nightly entertainment during July and August in Nakusp.
