Nightlife + Pubs
When the sun drops behind the mountains, the stars come out. For real.
On account of the fact Nelson Kootenay Lake is half way between the concert halls and stadiums of Vancouver and Calgary, the region likely lands more big musical acts looking for a scenic stopover than any other place its size.
Juno award winners, legends, up-and-comers…the marquee line up is a diverse as the selection of venues; intimate clubs, down-home pubs, dazzling nightclubs and rural halls.
Our historic Capitol Theatre, the Shambhala Studio 80 and other cutting-edge performing arts venues set the stage for great comedy, drama, ballet, and symphonies, year round.
