Keloha music festival coming to Kelowna’s Waterfront Park

I previously mentioned the new Keloha music festival coming to Kelowna’s Waterfront Park on the July 6th weekend.  Wet Ape productions are bringing a world-class event to the Kelowna waterfront.  Stay tuned for Artist lineup and ticket info in a few weeks…

KELOHA will feature 2 stages and showcases a number of art exhibits. The music will feature indie rock, alternative, electro pop, folk, and anything else you want to hear!

Another new music festival!

The Rock the Peach Festival has been getting some press lately with the release of the first round of artists – RONNIE DUNN, WALK OFF THE EARTH, COLLECTIVE SOUL,  SAM ROBERTS BAND,  BLACKIE & THE RODEO KINGS,  WAR and THREE DOG NIGHT.  The event takes place in Penticton on July 27-29th, 2012.  Now, another new Festival, the Keloha Festival will take place in Kelowna on July 6-8th, 2012.  See you there!
