Welcome back our amazing vendors in the Revelstoke Farm & Craft Market at the season’s first official outdoor market.
There will be an RCMP bike obstacle course and Screen Smart activities in Grizzly Plaza from 2-4 p.m.
The Chamber will be closing First Street and Mackenzie Avenue and the shops at Alpine Village Mall will be celebrating with specials. After 50+ years of serving the community of Revelstoke, Cooper’s Foods will be converting to Save On Foods on May 6, 2016.
