Free watch parties, post-game concerts and fan experiences take centre stage at Touchdown Kelowna Festival
News Release
In just over a week, Touchdown Kelowna Festival will kick off with nine days of free, all-ages programming in Waterfront Park, giving residents and visitors a chance to enjoy football, music, family activities and community celebration throughout the BC Lions’ historic visit to Kelowna.
Touchdown Kelowna Fan Fest, presented by Telus, will offer free family fun every day in Waterfront Park from June 27 to July 4. Fans of all ages can take part in football-themed games, hands-on activities and interactive displays, all set against the energy and free music performances at Waterfront Park Stage.
Fan Fest activities include high-energy welcome zones, custom player cards, mascot and player appearances and autograph signings, and a special Grey Cup visit on June 28. Guests can also enjoy quarterback accuracy throws, agility relays, receiver challenges, face painting, balloon art, cheer sign decorating, recyclable noise maker crafts, BC Lions trivia, team history displays and opportunities to learn the basics of CFL football through interactive games.
Throughout the festival, Waterfront Park Stage will become the ultimate cheer zone with free performances by up-and-coming music artists and BC Lions game-day Watch Parties, followed by post-game concerts on June 27 and July 4. Food trucks, bar service during licensed events, misting areas and a water bottle refill station will help guests stay comfortable and cheering longer.
Guests are encouraged to catch transit, walk or use the free Bike Valet at Bernard Avenue and Mill Street for a safe and convenient place to park during the festival. There will also be additional Lime scooter and e-bike availability at Waterfront Park.
While most Waterfront Park Stage programming is free to attend, the two headline concerts and Flip Flop Gala require tickets. For more Touchdown Kelowna Festival details, including the full event schedule, visit kelowna.ca/touchdown. BC Lions tickets are available at bclions.com/touchdown-kelowna.
