Traditional West Coast Lumberjack Show
This is the largest and most popular show we offer. The show features a full spectrum of lumberjack events including log rolling and tree climbing.
The stage is a completely self-contained and independent unit. Our tow vehicle is equipped with a HIAB crane to erect the red cedar climbing trees and the entire stage sets up in 4-5 hours. The stage also has a sound system that will serve crowds of up to 1000 people.
The show is comprised of four professional lumberjack athletes, all of whom are current or former Canadian Champions in the various lumberjack sports events, as well as an emcee to direct the action. We typically provide three full length performances per day, each filled with crowd participation and lots of action. The full length performance is 40-45 minutes, however, we have shorter variations of the show to accommodate shorter time slots, as brief as 10 minutes. For events with a limited budget, the traditional West Coast show can also be offered as a 3-person show.
