Crowsnest Pass Doors Open and Heritage Festival welcomes back Food and Tunes, a blend of local musicians and local culinary experiences throughout Crowsnest Pass. Music and Food define major parts of Crowsnest Pass culture. Thanks to our multiple sponsors, it only makes sense to bring this event back for the second year. The depth of musical talent and variety of foods can be found throughout the community during the Doors Open & Heritage Festival at pubs, restaurants, events and markets, creating a vibrancy throughout our downtowns. We hope this year's event will be a success and highlight the sense of community here in Crowsnest Pass.
