Meet Me on Bernard returns to downtown Kelowna this summer. New for this year’s event, presented in partnership by the Downtown Kelowna Association, Tourism Kelowna and City of Kelowna, is the Meet Me on Bernard pop-up program.
Whether you’re an artist on the hunt of a unique place to show your work, a business owner looking for creative ways to get into the community or part of a non-profit organization with a big idea to share, the pop-up program is your chance to take your passion project to the street.
Applications can be submitted for pop-ups that enhance the event space with positive, family-oriented activities. Successful applicants will get access to a 10-foot by 20-foot stretch of road to host an event of their choice.
“Meet Me on Bernard reimagines Kelowna’s main street as a vibrant platform for community connection,” said Chris Babcock, Event Development Supervisor for the City of Kelowna.
Meet Me on Bernard runs from July 1 through September 5. From The Sails to St. Paul Street.
Mark Burley, Executive Director of the Downtown Kelowna Association, added: “It gives Downtown businesses a chance to take advantage of increased foot traffic, visitors a chance to shop local vendors, and residents a chance to see a new side of their city.”
