Kelowna Fan Xpo is back for a fourth year this weekend.
Last year, more than 2,400 people attended the event and thousands of people from across North America are expected once again this year.
The pop culture festival brings together an impressive list of performers, artists, gamers, cosplayers and filmmakers.
Opening night is Friday, March 24th and will feature a separate ticketed performance of One Man Stars Wars Trilogy by Toronto’s Charles Ross.
That’s followed up by a full day of events on Saturday at various venues like the Kelowna Community Theatre, Rotary Centre for the Arts, the Black Box Theatre and Okanagan Regional Library.
This year’s showcase performance is the premiere of the Okanagan filmed movie, “The Recall”, which will screen at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Saturday evening.
“We’ve curated a huge variety of experiences celebrating pop culture and performance,” said KFX artistic director, Bonnie Gratz. “We invite Kelowna, the Okanagan, and the world to join in the fun!”
Tickets for the event are only available the day of, but tickets for Friday’s One Man Star Wars Trilogy can be purchased ahead of time at www.selectyourtickets.com.
