This year's Global Music Fest will leave you feeling like you just toured the globe. 

The Feb. 23 event will fill Lake Country’s Creekside Theatre and foyer with inspiring projects from our community and music from artists inspired by the world around them.

The main stage features Cristian De La Luna, originally from Colombia and now residing in Edmonton, playing Latin rhythms with his four piece band. The group was winner of the Edmonton Music Awards Latin Recording of the Year in 2018 and was a hit with audiences at October’s BreakOut West festival in Kelowna.

The Okanagan’s own upbeat heavy neo-soul group Leila Neverland’s Mountain Sound will warm up the stage, who are known for their audience engagement and storytelling.

Global Music Fest is part of the month long Global Citizen Events taking place in Kelowna and Lake Country through February. The organization's mission is to entertain, educate and inspire to action. 

The teams participating in this year's Global Sustainability Challenge will be sharing their projects in the foyer from 6:30 to 8:45 p.m. Local Venezuelan vegan food vendor Be Healthy Be Happy will be selling its cuisine, and musician Ferhad Jafo will be playing a set.

Tickets are $26 including all fees and taxes and can be purchased from www.kelownatickets.com/creekside and at the door, if available.
