upcoming community events
KIDS Community Fund was created to provide subsidized services to low-income families requiring additional services to support their child's ability to thrive. By bringing the community together, all proceeds raised go straight back to the community - local children and their families.
Boots, Beers & Belonging – A KIDS Community Night
Join us for a country-themed, adults-only (19+) night out at the Pub Bar & Grill in Fernie on April 18 from 6:00–11:00 PM.
Boots, Beers & Belonging is designed to bring our community together for a relaxed evening of connection while supporting local children and families who may face financial barriers accessing developmental and behavioural services.
Your ticket includes a country-style buffet dinner (gratuity included), a warm pub atmosphere, and a few lighthearted extras — including a Best Dressed Cowboy or Cowgirl contest and the chance to win up to $600 in door prizes, including:
• A $250 Fernie Night Out Package sponsored by Grizzly Bear Spa
• Two Free Camping Passes for July 3–5, 2026 sponsored by Fun Field Festival
Ticket pricing reflects dinner and event costs. Remaining proceeds go directly toward the KIDS Community Fund, which helps provide subsidized support services for children in lower-income households — helping local children thrive through everyday moments.
This is a community-supported event hosted by Kootenay Inclusivity & Developmental Services (KIDS). It is not a registered fundraiser.
Grab your boots, plan a night out, and join us for an evening that blends fun, connection, and community impact.
