We feel that having just shy of 50 venues already busy is very significant, especially when you consider that in the entire year of 2020, there were only 52 spaces that held live music events. We hit 82 last year, and with the addition of a couple new spots
already this year, and others waiting for approval, we expect to be bumping up against 90 arenas, theatres, wineries, craft breweries, restaurants and other places to have hosted music and musicians by the end of 2022.
Some of those new spaces have been very active, in fact, they number amongst the businest venues of the year so far. I'm thinking of Grizzly Bear Bistro + Bar and Salt & Brick,
both who have had live music on multiple nights per week this year. It's also good to have some of Kelowna's long standing venues like O'Flannigan's and The Blue Gator in town, and
Whiski-Jacks over on the west side open up to live music again.
If you want to check out the new venues, please check out our New Music Venues page, and if you're a westsider and want to see how active your side of the bridge is these days, head over to our
West Side Scene section for a listing of all the venues and all the upcoming gigs in your neck of the woods. Of course, dozens of local venues can be found on our Venues In Kelowna page.
