The idea for Re-Fest began with Leah Evans, a professional skier and Patagonia ambassador. For years, Leah has been building the framework for this event in her mind while undertaking her own personal upcycling pursuits .

This event can take place because of the generosity of our sponsors, Patagonia, Tourism Revelstoke, and the Columbia Basin Trust.

Re-Fest also couldn’t happen without our volunteers, and the support of local organizations and community partners such as the CSRD, the Revelstoke Cycling Association, Birch & Lace, The Sugar Shack, and Wildsight.
