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.

“Big mountains, small village, floating stage- the vibe of Kaslo is intimately amazing,” Clynes says. “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. Booths offer ethnic food and a beer garden. There’s no restrictions on BYO picnics, so plenty of checkered quilts and tablecloths dot the ground.” - USA Today
