Carving on the Edge Festival
The first
Carving On the Edge Festival celebrates the Pacific Rim's lively wood carving scene. The late Henry Nolla, whose carving shed remains a hub of activity right by the Inn, was a mentor to a community of West Coast carvers (as well as a great friend to the Inn), and will be the subject of a special retrospective show in our Salal Room from September 17-22.

An annual tribute to our favorite bivalve! This is a week-end of entertaining talks, great BC wine, oyster farm tours, and the Mermaids Ball.
