Attendees will have the opportunity to attend panels, workshops, and networking events, gaining valuable insights into the music industry and its ever-evolving landscape.
The idea for Okanagan Flow was born out of a desire to showcase the diversity and talent within the hip hop and R&B genres, while also providing a space for education and networking. Festival organizer, Jauzlynn, explains, “We wanted to create an event that not only celebrates the music, but also provides a platform for artists and industry professionals to connect and learn from each other.”
The festival will take place on August 27th and 28th at the Kelowna Community Theatre and Rotary Centre for the Arts. Tickets are available for purchase online and range from single-day passes to VIP packages. With limited capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions, organizers are encouraging attendees to purchase tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
Okanagan Flow is not only a celebration of music, but also a celebration of the vibrant and diverse community in Kelowna. The festival aims to bring people together and create a sense of unity through the power of music. So mark your calendars and get ready to experience the first-ever hip hop and R&B festival and conference in the beautiful city of Kelowna.
