Bring on summer with Music in the Park

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wednesday, June 23, 2021

Get your groove on with the much-anticipated return of West Kelowna’s popular, free Music in the Park program, starting Thursday, July 1, with a new venue for 2021 at Kinsmen Park on Shannon Lake Road.

We will offer four, one-hour sets with a maximum of 50 fans per show with up to six people per group within designated zones, in keeping with the latest Province of BC COVID-19 safe restart procedures. Register in advance by calling our Recreation Department at 778-797-8800.

The accomplished and in-demand Sean Bray, Kinga Henning and Bernie Addinton Trio take the stage at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. bringing creative sounds with a variety of jazz, country, rhythm and blues and pop. Awarding winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lindsay May and the Mayhem play at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. performing originals and covers of the greats such as the Beatles and Queen.

We will host our family friendly shows in the upper Kinsmen soccer field. Bring your own drinks, snacks, and chairs or blankets. The remainder of Kinsmen Park will be open during the performances; however, in order to limit the gathering size at Music in the Park, fencing will be in place. Crews must also set aside the majority of on-site parking stalls for the day for those attending shows.

We have scheduled other Music in the Park dates for July 31, Aug. 28 and Sept. 4. Pre-registration may be required for future shows. Full details, including artists and set times are subject to change in keeping with evolving Provincial Health Orders. The City will attempt to post details up to two weeks in advance.
