Community Impact
What makes the Central Okanagan Performing Arts Festival special?Â
​
For more than a century, the festival has given performers of all ages a real stage. Here they build confidence, get feedback from professional adjudicators, make friendships that last, and share their love of dance and music with an audience that cheers them on.
The festival only happens because of the many people behind it. To every volunteer, teacher, sponsor and family who makes it possible: thank you. Together, we’re shaping the next generation of performing artists.
