Events are back, and Kelowna is looking for ideas that will put the city on the map.

Kelowna㽶Ƶֱs first-ever event strategy is in the works and residents will be able to give input until Sept. 7 that will help shape the future of the city㽶Ƶֱs biggest events. Kelowna residents can give input on potential locations, activities and accommodations, as well as participate in surveys and polls on the topic.

These ideas will come to life at the Get Eventive Days coming up this summer. On July 24-25 and Aug. 21-22, local art, musical performances and culture showcases will be set up along the promenade from Waterfront to City Park. These attractions are meant to spark ideas for a signature event for Kelowna.

Signature events are events like the Calgary Stampede or Quebec㽶Ƶֱs Winter Carnival, events so iconic they are inseparable from the place they occur. They often have a strong connection with the culture, climate or heritage of the host city.

㽶ƵֱIn addition to our event strategy, we㽶Ƶֱre also seeking ideas as to what Kelowna㽶Ƶֱs signature event could be,㽶Ƶֱ said Babcock. 㽶ƵֱWe invite our residents to be creative, tell us their ideas, and help us develop an event that reflects who we are and who we want to be.㽶Ƶֱ

Kelowna residents are invited to share their ideas for a signature event as well as interact with others㽶Ƶֱ by voting or liking them at
