Kelowna Pride Festival 2026 Vendors
About the application
Welcome to the vendor application for the 2026 Kelowna Pride Festival, taking place on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at City Park in downtown Kelowna.
Kelowna Pride is one of the Okanagan’s most vibrant community celebrations, welcoming over 10,000 attendees for a full day of entertainment, community connection, and celebration of 2SLGBTQ+ pride. The festival features live performances, community organizations, local businesses, artisans, and food vendors from across the region.
Our goal is to create a diverse and welcoming marketplace that highlights local businesses, queer entrepreneurs, artists, and organizations whose work reflects the spirit and values of Pride.
This year we are introducing a new vendor application system. As with any new process, there may be a few bumps while we fine-tune things. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue improving the experience for vendors and guests alike.
Please note that food trucks and mobile food vendors will be managed through a separate application process this year and should not apply through this form
We look forward to reviewing your application and celebrating Pride together in 2026.
