This Saturday from 5-10pm a new free festival launches in West Kelowna. It will celebrate multiculturalism, provide some great interactive kids activities, and offer an assortment of ethnic food vendors.
 
Situated behind the Johnson Bentley Pool, Memorial Park will host this free and family focused festival. 
 
The stage schedule is as follows:
5:00pm Stan Jack, Westbank First Nations dancer
5:20pm Strongman Show by Team Xtreme 
5:45pm Alpha Yaya Diallo, Juno Award winning performer
7:00pm Ezra Kwizera, whose music is a zesty mix of Reggae, Soca, East African Bongo and Pop
8:00pm Fireshow by Team Extreme 
8:45pm En Karma, Canada's top Bhangra band

I love creating songs, which have been used by the Terry Fox Run, Kelowna’s Centennial Celebration, or heard on various local radio stations.
