Downtown Revelstoke & Grizzly Plaza
Downtown Revelstoke
Century-old brick buildings line MacKenzie Avenue, with cafés, restaurants, and outdoor gear shops. Grizzly Plaza hosts free summer evening performances.
The downtown core centers on MacKenzie Avenue and First Street. Both sides are lined with brick and stone buildings from the railway boom of the early 20th century. Today they house cafés, craft breweries, restaurants, and ski and outdoor shops, and you can explore the whole area in half an hour on foot. Grizzly Plaza is the town's public living room. In summer, a free outdoor concert called Street Fest is held every evening, and a farmers' market takes place on Saturday mornings. Nearby, the Revelstoke Museum and Archives displays the town's history of gold mining, logging, and the railway era. In winter, the downtown is a gathering place for skiers, and the bars are lively. Accommodation is mainly motels and guesthouses, so book ahead for ski season and summer weekends.
