Event Details
Revy Re-Fest, Revelstoke’s community upcycling festival, is back for its third year! Taking place May 25, 2025, this event invites locals and visitors alike to come together to reduce waste, share knowledge, repair what’s broken, and celebrate sustainable living.
Launched in 2023, Revy Re-Fest has quickly grown into a signature event for the region, working with a multitude of community partners to demonstrate hands-on environmental action and circular economy practices. This year’s festival will feature:
Repair Cafés for fixing household items and electronics
Interactive Workshops using upcycled goods and natural products
Clothing, Bike, and Book Swaps to keep items in use and out of landfills
The Re-Craft Market, showcasing local vendors offering thoughtfully upcycled and repurposed goods
The KORE Outdoor Sewing Trailer, specializing in repairs to outdoor gear and apparel
The Birch And Lace Trashion Show
With 2000+ attendees last year, Revy Re-Fest is more than a festival — it’s a movement rooted in creativity, community, and sustainability.
