Support Local Live Music!

Music is often an integral part of a vibrant community and the cities of the Okanagan are no exception to that rule. In fact, cities in the Okanagan Valley embrace and encourage citizens to enjoy free music in the parks throughout the valley all summer long when folks can take advantage of the endless days and warmer nights!

For those that live in the South Okanagan around Penticton, you can check out Pop-Up Parks (https://www.penticton.ca/pop-up-parks) every Saturday in June for a different music and game filled evening in different park venues around the city. There are also a ton of other major events taking place throughout the summer and fall for local citizens to participate in outside of the fun music nights, for more details you can click here: https://www.penticton.ca/city-hall/news-alerts/city-announces-major-events-and-opportunities-get-involved
