Big Mountains - Small Village - Floating Stage

Welcome to the 17th Annual Kaslo Jazz Etc. Summer Music Festival

Every August long weekend in Kaslo, BC stunning vistas, great acoustics and superb musicians combine to create the Kaslo Jazz Etc Summer Music Festival. The unique floating stage rests just offshore a little, sandy beach on Kootenay Lake.

10 great places to get in tune, be outdoors!

… the vibe of Kaslo is intimately amazing … with pristine wilderness as a backdrop, the musicians are perched on the edge of Kootenay Lake while onlookers swim around the stage, dance in the sand or recline on blankets laid in a natural, green amphitheater …
