West Kelowna’s Westside Daze returns with four days of fun

Jul 10, 2025 | 9:29 AM

One of West Kelowna’s most anticipated summer festivals is making its return this weekend.

Westside Daze will bring live entertainment, carnival rides and family-friendly activities to Memorial Park from July 10 to 13. The multi-day celebration promises something for everyone — with musical acts, food vendors, and a kids zone all on the schedule.

The festivities begin Friday night with performances by Jackson Hollow and Totally Twain, kicking off at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday is the busiest day of the event. A pancake breakfast at the Lions Hall gets underway in the morning, followed by the annual parade through the city starting at 10:30 a.m. A dedicated kids zone will run from noon to 4 p.m., including interactive features like a foam party.

A drone light show will cap off the evening at 10 p.m.
