Columbia Basin Culture Tour

Aug 8 & 9 2026 Columbia Basin Culture Tour. This year’s Tour is amazingly full of arts, culture and heritage, with almost 90 venues located in communities and rural locations throughout southeastern BC, including the East and West Kootenays and beyond! Each year, the tour invites you to meet people behind the scenes at galleries and museums, visit studios and venues not normally open to the public, shop for original art or fine crafts, and enjoy special events. Self-directed and free of charge, the tour features the work of skilled local artists and fascinating cultural and heritage sites.
