Kelowna Kiwanis Festival

The Kelowna Kiwanis Festival is an annual Arts Festival for youth (typically ages 12 - 19, but some younger and older than that bracket). We are a non-profit charitable organization, and our main sponsor is The Kiwanis Club. We are a small organization comprised of an Executive Director, and a working board of ten. We rely heavily on volunteers during festival season (typically March, April, May) in order to run this festival smoothly.

This is a very important festival which gives young people a place and opportunity to grow as dancers, musicians, and singers. Throughout the festival participants have the opportunity to take Masterclasses with out of town professionals in their discipline, and then perform and be adjudicated by said professionals, with the potential of winning awards, and moving on to provincials, and nationals. As well, because we are a non-profit charitable organization and sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, we are able to keep our festival fees substantially low, which keeps our festival accessible to everyone!
