Cultural District
The Cultural District was developed in what was once the centre of the Okanagan's historical fruit packing industry. Through the dedication of the arts community, municipal leadership, strong community planning and major investments, the Cultural District has become the hub of Kelowna’s artistic and cultural activity.
The District’s six square blocks are home to the City’s cultural venues, including galleries, theatres and museums. There are also 18 pieces of public art on display, created by local, regional, national and international artists.
Tour the Cultural District
There are great opportunities to tour the District and immerse yourself in the art, culture and heritage of the area.
Free, guided walking tours are available through July and August - please note that the program has been cancelled for 2020, due to COVID-19 restrictions. We look forward to hosting the tours in 2021 if permissible.
You can also take a self-guided walking tour:
