The three-day event celebrated its anniversary under smoky skies

Three decades of good music and vibes were celebrated last weekend in Kaslo.

Smoky skies didn’t keep crowds from taking in the Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival, which celebrated its 30th anniversary with a busy lineup featuring headliners BADBADNOTGOOD, Hiss Golden Messenger and Galactic.

Here’s some of what we saw last weekend in Kaslo.
