Elkford Wildcat Days

During the 19th and early-20th century, the exploration and extraction of the abundant resources in the lower Elk Valley continued, but few settlers braved the challenges of the wilderness frontier in the Elkford area. One prominent character, 'Wildcat' Charlie Weigert, a trapper, was well known for his hospitality in the area — the annual Elkford celebration 'Wildcat Days' is named in honour of him.

This community event takes place all weekend. Festival includes a parade, craft & trade show, community garage sale, climbing wall, soap box derby, pancake breakfast, live stage entertainment, family fun zone and much more! Visit Elkford.ca for more details.
