Best of Kelowna Celebration

Community Events, Live Music Events in Kelowna

Celebrating Kelowna’s best businesses with music, drinks, and community

Kelowna’s business community comes together on Wednesday, June 10 for the Kelowna Now Best of Kelowna Celebration at Red Bird Brewing.


This annual event celebrates the businesses, teams, and organizations voted among the best in the city by the Kelowna community. Bringing together local entrepreneurs, business owners, sponsors, finalists, and award winners, the evening is designed as both a celebration and a chance to connect with the people helping shape Kelowna’s local business scene.


Hosted primarily throughout Red Bird Brewing’s outdoor space, guests can expect a lively summer atmosphere featuring live music, DJs, photo booths, networking, and community celebration from the moment doors open.


Setting the tone for the evening is DJ Maple Jordan, one of the Okanagan’s most recognized music-first DJs and event entertainers. Known for his energetic live sets at festivals like Altitunes and venues across the region, DJ Maple Jordan will be spinning throughout the night and keeping the atmosphere moving from start to finish.


Guests will also enjoy live performances from rising country artist Dawson Gray. Known for his charismatic stage presence and heartfelt songwriting, Dawson has quickly become one of Western Canada’s fastest-growing country artists, building a loyal fanbase through sold-out headline shows, millions of streams, and major support slots alongside artists like Jordan Davis, James Barker Band, and Dasha. His live performances bring high energy, strong crowd connection, and the kind of summer concert atmosphere that fits perfectly at Red Bird.


Throughout the evening, Kelowna Now will officially present the Best of Kelowna certificates to this year’s winners, recognizing the businesses voted among the city’s favourites by the community itself.


To help capture the celebration, there will also be two photo booths on site, giving guests and businesses the chance to snap photos and celebrate together throughout the night.


Each ticket includes admission plus one complimentary drink ticket, with Red Bird Brewing’s full food and beverage menu available for purchase throughout the evening.
Whether you’re celebrating a win, supporting fellow local businesses, or simply looking to connect with Kelowna’s vibrant entrepreneurial community, this is one of the city’s biggest summer networking and celebration events.


This is an invite-only event. Tickets are required for entry.
