Where Creativity Peaks
Rossland is a town where creativity and adventure collide. The Rossland Council for Arts & Culture runs a roster of programming helping a vibrant community of more than 150 local visual, performing, and literary artists thrive. Local artisans add even more flavour, filling galleries, studios, and shops with unique handmade crafts, jewelry, and artwork. The annual Gold Fever Follies is a rollicking musical celebration of true—and sometimes entirely fictional—Rossland events, while the cheeky Boomtown Garter Girls and talented Rossland Light Opera Players bring theatrical flair to the stage. Live music pulses through pubs, cafés, and community spaces year-round. And don’t miss the Annual Rossland Mountain Film Festival showcasing stunning outdoor and adventure storytelling from around the globe. From galleries to performances to film, Rossland proves that a small town can deliver a big cultural punch.
