Approaching Fun Field Festival from the East? Well you will definitely be passing through Fernie, BC and it is well worth making a stop!
Fernie is a magical little pocket of BC surrounded by mountain views and every outdoor activity you can imagine from hiking, biking, fishing, rafting, river floating and more!
When it comes to spectacular nature, Fernie has it covered with trails accessing some of the most spectacular sites including Fairy Creek Falls which is a relatively easy return hike of just 4.6km from the Fernie Visitors Centre.
And while you are there, why not pop in and see the exact replica of the Fernie ammonite, a 150 million year old carnivorous cephalopod!
If adventure is calling on your trip to BC, go and see the team at Tunnel 49 - white water rafting, scenic floats, kayaking, paddle boarding, if it goes on the water, they have it covered!
With so much to do in Fernie, you are probably going to need a few days either side of Fun Field Festival to get the full experience. There are many different places to stay in Fernie catering to different styles and budget, but for comfort, accessibility, facilities and ease - Park Place Lodge really ticks all the boxes. With elegant pool & hot tub facilities, updated rooms and a full service restaurant and bar attached, PPL & The Pub is where you will find a great place to stay, eat and drink while in Fernie.
Heading to Fun Field Festival, you will need to stock up on your festival essentials and luckily in Fernie, you only have to stop at one convenient location just off Hwy 3. Canadian Tire and Eldho's Your Independent Grocer are right next door to each other!
Fernie is definitely the kind of place that you could end up spending a lifetime discovering and adventuring - just ask one of the locals that came for one ski season.... 15 years ago!
Make sure to spend some time at the Fernie Visitors Centre on your way to Fun Field Festival, have a picnic, utilize the free Wi-Fi and chat to the staff about the local sites that just might keep you here for a lifetime.
