With the rising cost of living these days, people are always on the lookout for a good deal, or even better yet, something to do for fun that’s absolutely free.
Heading into the summer of 2024, the City of Kelowna has planned a number of free and family-friendly events for residents and tourists to enjoy between now and the end of September, including Roller Nights, Dancing in the Park, Sunset Yoga, Park and Play, as well as Neighbourhood Pulse Pop-Ups.
Roller Nights: Every Tuesday
People can skate to the beat with Roller Night in Stuart Park every Tuesday, starting at 7:30 p.m. and running for two hours between July 9 and Aug. 27. Bring your own roller skates and safety equipment or rent from Roll Mates Skate located on site.
Dancing in the Park & Sunset Yoga: Every Wednesday
On Wednesday evenings starting at 6:30 p.m. in Stuart Park, people can enjoy different dancing styles, including zumba, hip hop, line dance and more. All ages are welcome, with weekly events beginning on July 10. The dance will be followed by a yoga session, where people can watch the sunset starting at 8 p.m.
