It doesn’t come as a huge surprise, but the City of Kelowna has cancelled Music in the Park for 2020.

The cancellation is to adhere to the restrictions regarding large group gatherings, which have been put in place by British Columbia’s provincial health officer.
 


Although some restrictions are starting to be lifted, there was no way to appropriately carry on with Music in the Park.

“We are starting to see the restrictions lifted on outdoor recreation spaces, but the province has made it clear about the importance to adhere to no large group gatherings this summer,” said Mayor Gord Milsom.

“We recognize the importance of events like Music in the Park to our sense of community and we will be looking for new ways to bring residents together when it is safe.”

It's expected that the event will return for the summer of 2021.
