2024 TENTATIVE EVENTS

Entertainment Saturday and Sunday Afternoon


WEST COAST LUMBERJACK SHOW

The West Coast Lumberjack Show is a professional Lumberjack show that is wowing audiences all overCanada and the USA, and has even traveled as far as Indonesia, Japan, England and Norway. 

In a lighthearted, competitive spirit, four lumberjacks race to out-climb, out-saw, out-chop and out-throw each other  in a number of events. The speed at which these men move is astounding …one glance away from the 40 foot climbing pole and the lumberjack will already have raced to the top and be on his way down.

Can you imagine trying to keep your balance on a 17” diameter wet rolling log while someone is trying to knock you off.  These men can do it in the jousting competition… with a lot of splashing , of course.

Vrroom!… rroom!…. loud and powerful, the mighty Husqvarna powersaw can cut through a wood block like butter. Grunt… Grunt… Grind…Grind… this is the two man, traditional “peg & raker” cross-cut saw, Watch them compete head to head.

Action, fun, old-fashioned family entertainment, the West Cost Lumberjack Show is a must at the Lumby Days.  

Look for them at Lumby Days  Saturday and Sunday  afternoon
