Downtown Kelowna is host to many exciting events all through the year. Whether hosted by the Association, the city, or other businesses or partners you’re sure to find something fun to do in #downtownkelowna. Find out more about what’s happening below.
Downtown After 5
Arguably Kelowna’s best business casual mixer, Downtown Kelowna After 5 turns traditional networking into a chance to unwind and get to know your neighbours. These events routinely draw 200+ guests looking to socialize, network, share ideas, and have a great time ‘After 5’.
Small Shop
Small Shop Weekend is a three-day promotion that celebrates and highlights the important role small businesses play in our community. What may seem like a small act of shopping local can make a HUGE impact by keeping jobs and dollars in Downtown Kelowna.
