Fantastic Firehall Festival (Firehall Brewery)
2024-08-17 19:00 - 23:30 UTC | British Columbia
Firehall Brewery and Respect Record & Skate Shop are proud to present… the Fantastic Firehall Festival! Six local bands, two stages (one indoor and one outdoor), lettin’ rip non-stop music from 7 ’til midnight! $25/person in advance. $30/person at the door. Advance sales close at 4pm day of. Tickets $30 at the door.

FEATURING:
DEATH/AMBROSIA is a love letter to a cascade of influences from the 90’s, while sounding completely like themselves, the liminal feel of the drum machine hints at influences like portishead or Ava Adore era smashing pumpkins while the heavy guitar, bass and keyboard tip the hat to Nine Inch Nails or maybe Tool.
STUCK IN NEUTRAL is somewhere between the classic Southern California punk sound like The Off-spring, Green day or The Descendants AND the uptempo sides of grunge bands like Nirvana or Soundgarden.
THE CAVERNOUS are often accused of being influenced by industrial music yet moments of their set are clearly an homage to 90’s electronica like Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada. Either way expect heavy psychedelic electronic music from this duo.
BUCKET hails from the west Kooteney region of BC. Inspired by the sounds of Eastern Canada’s punk scene as well as 2000’s pop punk. They are chasing the thrills of teenage angst and heartbreak with a high voltage energy level.
MOONBATHER are a staple in the Vancouver Island stoner metal scene sharing the stage with such acts as Dopethrone, Bort and Moths & Locusts. Known for their loose jam like feel, if you like your riffs tasty and chunky this is your jam.
IDIOFAME is a high energy melodic punk band reminiscent of the pop punk with break down vibe of the 2000’s. The kind of band you can’t help but sing along with the chorus. While they are relatively new to the Okanagan scene they are exploding into opening slots with Moneen and Calling All Captains.
HARDBALL are Okanagan grunge and punk rock veterans, last year marked the long awaited release of their debut self titled LP, yet the boys have been hard at work on an all new set of furious bangers.
BLACK OF HEARTS put the rock back in punk rock, their songs are clearly made with song writing in mind yet the are backed by truly thoughtful and emotive musicianship. Reminiscent of Social Distortion or maybe even Neutral Milk Hotel at times.

8 bands. 2 stages. 1 Brewery. This festival has a focus but not limited to bands/musicians from the South Okanagan. Bands start right at 6pm sharp. $25 in advance. $30 at the door.
Sponsored by Respect Record & Skate Shop on Main Street in Oliver! https://www.respectrecordandskate.com/

Join ODC Lead Vriti Bakshi in a high-tea style nature talk about different plants at the ODC and how they can be eaten and enjoyed respectfully. Vriti has been a local to Osoyoos for many years and enjoys creating teas based on the knowledge she has gained through both indigenous voices and her own research over the years.

Circus Camp (Venables Theatre)

Step right up for a week-long circus extravaganza! Green Fools Theatre Society is coming to Oliver July 29 – August 2 to teach circus for ages 8 to 14. The camp is hosted by Venables Theatre and will allow youth to try a multitude of circus disciplines including stilts, unicycles, juggling, walking barrels, and more.
For Green Fools Co-Founder Dean Bareham, circus and performing had a profound impact on him. “It really saved my life,” says Bareham, “I was a teen who could have easily slipped through the cracks, and it gave me direction.” During the camp the kids get to try everything from juggling to stilt walking. “We want to create a place where kids can participate in healthy risk taking and see that failure is okay,” says Bareham. At the end of the week, participants will create a performance for their families.
In Bareham’s thirty years of experience teaching circus, he has experienced the incredible impact it has on kids. “During one of our camps in Calgary we had a young boy join us who had just arrived in Canada from Ethiopia. He was a refugee and didn’t speak English. Within days he was performing in the Jubilee auditorium and the rest of the kids had banded together to make sure he felt included.”
About Green Fools
From Alberta to Africa, the Green Fools have been fostering circus and theatre since 1991. Co-founded by Artistic Director Dean Bareham, the Green Fools are passionate circus educators, entertainers, and artists. In the last five years, the Fools have impacted over 14,000 kids through their circus programs and new circus school Studio G, which develop confidence and social skills. Over 1,100 of those kids received free programming. They have also performed children’s theatre and street performances across the globe. The Green Fools also create unique event entertainment with their custom costumes, circus artists, stilt walkers, and more. The mission is simple: changing the world one kid at a time.

The 10-song album was his effort to preserve and connect with his heritage. The chance to reconnect with his roots helped him through turbulent times.

Double Stop Creek (Phantom Creek Estates)
2024-07-14 15:30 - 18:30
What started as a friendship between neighbours Sue McEvoy and Denise Soule, soon evolved into our small country group. Together with Denise’s husband, Jamie, Anarchist Mountain’s Deputy Fire Chief, our bass player and vocalist, we created Double Stop Creek. Our love of music brought us together and helped us persevere through tragic personal loss when Jamie passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on New Year’s day of 2019. Making the decision to “play on” and to continue on our musical path has been a balm to the heart and ‘soule’. We hope you enjoy our music … put your cares away and join us on our journey …
