Music in the Park returns for another season in West Kelowna

Another summer of good tunes will fill the air at this year's Music in the Park summer concert series at the scenic Annette Beaudreau Amphitheatre at Memorial Park, located at 3737 Old Okanagan Highway. This free, family-friendly event takes place on Friday nights, all summer long.

Opening night: Barracuda - Tribute to Heart and Led Zeppelin

Get ready to relive some of classic rock's greatest hits as Barracuda opens the 2026 Music in the Park season on Friday, June 26.

Based in Vancouver, Barracuda delivers an authentic tribute to the legendary music of Heart and Led Zeppelin, bands whose iconic songs have defined generations of rock fans. Hailing from the city where sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson first formed Heart, the band performs with the style, energy and passion that made Heart's music a worldwide phenomenon.

Their performances have earned the endorsement of Heart founding guitarist Roger Fisher, who has joined Barracuda on stage for numerous shows, creating an unforgettable experience for audiences and Heart fans alike.
