Concert Hall
This year, unfortunately, we cannot gather in person to watch the numerous live concerts offered at the Kelowna MapleFest. We are then presenting original virtual concerts from local artists to watch in the comfort of your living room.
The Big Community Concert.
Presented by the Centre Culturel Francophone de l’Okanagan in partnership with New Horizon Productions.
In order to support the community, especially the artists and the restaurants strongly affected by the new restrictions announced in March, the Kelowna MapleFest’s team had to rethink the festivities. A new concept has been developed: film 10 performances from local artists in 9 different venues that have been impacted by the new restrictions and create a Big Community Concert.
The Big Community Concert, under the artistic direction of local videographer Jackson Parker, is a showcase of the artists, the restaurants, all our partners that make our events possible. It is a way to show our support to the community and prove that we can still create beautiful things during these difficult times.
Join us, starting on Friday, April 30th at 6 pm, to discover the artists and the community members that took part in this unique and impromptu initiative.
