Fireside Festival

Feb 26 + 27 2027

Kelowna's Winter Arts & Music Festival

It started with 40 friendsand a fireplace.

Back in 2014 it was a seventies A frame on the lake, a couple of speakers, and whoever could fit in the living room. Nobody called it a festival. It was just the best night of the winter.

12 years later it's 2,500 people over a weekend in downtown Kelowna, and it's still homegrown. We run our own marketing, shoot our own content, and book the acts we'd want to see ourselves.

Still the best weekend of the winter.

Bring your brandto the party.

Fireside is 2,500 people over 2 days who dress up, stay for hours and tell their friends about it after. That's a pretty good room to be in.

We build every partnership around what you actually want out of February. The bar, a stage, a corner of the building, or the photos and video we shoot all weekend. Tell us what you're after and we'll shape something that fits.
