Regular concerts won’t be back in British Columbia for some time, but that’s not stopping Lake Country from showcasing the talent of Okanagan-based musicians.

The city usually puts on free shows during the summer, but since that’s not a possibility this year, the idea of ‘Sidewalk Concerts’ was born.

Musicians will come play in a neighbourhood and residents will be able to enjoy the show from the safety of their own private properties.

Residents are invited to apply now to have a ‘Sidewalk Concert’ on the public space adjacent to their property.

“There will be two 20- to 30-minute concerts scheduled on Wednesday or Thursday evenings each week from late June through August,” said Ryan Donn, cultural development coordinator. 

“It is a significant modification to our regular programming in the parks, but it is a way we can still offer free live performances from a safe distance and for a limited audience each evening.”

According to a release from the District, popular local performers like Ben Klick, Poppa Dawg, Opera Kelowna, Cod Gone Wild, Sista B and others have expressed a willingness to get involved.

Applications are now open and will close on May 18 to allow ample time for planning and logistics.
