Organizers pleased with participation for Vernon’s Culture Days
Vernon is gaining a reputation as a growing site for arts and culture.
The city recently placed fourth across Canada in the Top Participating Community List for hosting the most Culture Days events in 2023.
“We were the only B.C. location in the Towns and Rural Areas category to be recognized as top participants, with an impressive 39 free events. We are thankful to all our sponsors, host organizations, participants and attendees for making Culture Days 2023 such a success in Greater Vernon,” Shawna Patenaude, executive director of the Arts Council of the North Okanagan (ACNO), host of Vernon Culture Days, said.
Held over three weeks in the fall, Culture Days encourages people across Canada to enrich their lives through creativity and expression and instill in themselves a greater appreciation for the ways that artists, creatives, and the cultural sector enhance and contribute to Canadian communities.
