Magical Carnival – one night only!
The Carnival hosted an illuminated archway into a Kootenay-style winter wonderland – Winter Kickoff Carnival!
The Station at Railtown in Nelson came alive with the scent of seasonal mouthwatering food, local beer, sounds of joyous cheers amongst music performances and runway extravaganzas. It’s was a family affair, with Santa photo ops and lots of cheer.

Recreation
Indoors or outdoors, there’s plenty to keep you active. Charming yoga studios and spas await, while early season snow beckons snowshoers and backcountry skiers.
Attractions
Our distinctive culture is a culmination of our natural surroundings, arts, and heritage. Delve into our true character by visiting our galleries, museums and historic sites.
Getting Here
Nestled in the heart of the Selkirk Mountains, our rural location is surprisingly accessible. Enjoy the scenic drive and set your clock to Kootenay Time.
Shop & Dine
With more restaurants per capita than San Francisco or New York, and a diverse collection of boutique stores, our region is a food and shopping lover’s dream.
Indigenous Culture
We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territories of the Sinixt, the Syilx, and the Ktunaxa peoples, and is home to many diverse indigenous persons including the Metis.
