Organizers of the Interior Savings Fat Cat Children’s Festival are inviting the community to get involved in the 27th annual edition of the Festival coming up on June 9 & 10, 2017 at Waterfront Park.
“The Festival is strong and an integral part of our community,” says Marlene Fenton, chair of the volunteer board that produces the Festival annually. “And we are looking for more community partners and especially volunteers to be a part of that success. With the Festival less than two months away, it is time to ramp things up and we are looking to the community to get involved and help put on an incredible show for the kids – and their families.”
The festival celebrates the people and events of the region with its theme “Okanagan Stories” and feature two full days of entertainment, learning and creativity, plus a fabulous parade.
