COPAF Presents OVATION in the Park

The Central Okanagan Performing Arts Festival is thrilled to announce OVATION in the Park, a brand-new outdoor concert celebrating the incredible talent found throughout our community.

Join us on Thursday, August 20, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Kerry Park in downtown Kelowna for a free evening of live classical music presented in partnership with Meet Me on Bernard and the Downtown Kelowna Association.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Okanagan Lake, the concert will feature a curated lineup of exceptional performers in classical voice, piano, and strings. Audiences will experience an inspiring mix of emerging and established artists, showcasing the artistry and excellence that the Central Okanagan Performing Arts Festival is known for.

While many community events feature contemporary music, OVATION in the Park offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and power of live classical performance in an accessible outdoor setting. Whether you’re a lifelong lover of classical music or discovering it for the first time, this concert promises an unforgettable evening for audiences of all ages.

For COPAF, the event also represents an exciting opportunity to remain connected with our community beyond the festival season while providing performers with another meaningful stage to share their talents and continue developing their craft.

Admission is free, so bring a lawn chair or blanket, gather your family and friends, and enjoy an evening of beautiful music by the lake.
