All Hallows Festival
2025-10-25 16:00 - 20:00, 2025-10-26 11:00 - 18:00 | Gyro Beach, 15 Park Pl, Osoyoos, BC, V0H 1v0, Canada
The Wide Arts National Association (WANA) is pleased to host the 4th Annual All Hallows Festival (AHF) in Osoyoos!

Taking place at Gyro Park in sw̓iw̓s (Osoyoos) on the unceded land of the Syilx Okanagan people in British Columbia, All Hallows Festival was conceived by Wide Arts National Association (WANA) with the mission to create and deliver a wide array of arts and cultural experiences.

All Hallows Festival celebrates the South Okanagan’s diverse bounty of local artists in a progressive, family-friendly halloween harvest-style event. This accessible, by-donation community festival, creates magical opportunities of cultural exchange through exciting, participatory performances by local artists.

With the unwavering support of The Town of Osoyoos, Destination Osoyoos, local sponsors, the event attracts a public of over 3500 people.

Festival-goers participate in collective dance and circus-based activities; have their fortunes told by Tarot card readers; compete in costume contests; witness thrilling acts such as fire breathing, belly dancing, sword swallowing and world-class aerial acrobatics; laugh as witches take to paddleboards for the ‘Witches on the Water’ showcase; before ending a jam-packed day with a dance party––All Hallows is far from your average ‘sit-down and watch’ festival.

With its diverse local line-up, accessible hands-on activities guided by local artists fueled with community vision, All Hallows is the perfect example of how to reinvent the heritage harvest festival into a forward-thinking family event. One which attracts new visitors to our community, engages repeat visitors and adds immeasurable value to the lives and businesses of the Osoyoos community.

The AHF will run:

Saturday, October 25 4:00pm-8:00pm Sunday, October 26th from 11:00am-6:00pmwith events for all ages and interests, including:

Food trucks and more!

Dance performances and workshops

Jim Brynes
2025-10-25 19:30 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
Jim Byrnes lives and breathes music. For nearly fifty years he’s crooned, drawled, belted, hollered and sweet talked more songs into a microphone than most people ever get to hear in a single lifetime. His evocative, smoky vocals are found in a truth that doesn’t come overnight. The sheer joy you can hear in the music he creates is a reason to celebrate Jim Byrnes as a living musical treasure. Jim was recently awarded the Order of Canada, acknowledging the impact he has had on the Canadian arts scene as well as for his philanthropic work.

By age thirteen, Jim was singing and playing blues guitar. His first professional gig was in 1964. Over the years, he has had the great good fortune to appear with a virtual who’s who of the blues. From Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker to Taj Mahal and Robert Cray, Jim has been on the blues highway his whole career. St. Louis bred, Byrnes moved to Vancouver, BC in the mid-70s after years of drifting, working odd jobs and playing music.

He’s been a mainstay on both the music and screen scenes ever since. His fame as an actor equals his legendary music status. From his numerous TV and movie roles, highlights include the Wiseguy and Highlander series, and his national variety show, The Jim Byrnes Show. With many award-winning albums to his credit (Maple Blues Awards, WCMAs, Junos, Canadian Folk Music Awards), Jim Byrnes is that artist who will light up the stage with songs and stories, tried and true.

Now, he brings his quintet and signature smoky vocals to Venables Theatre for an unforgettable evening of soul-stirring blues, roots, and storytelling.

TELUS originals Presents: #skoden - Feature documentary by Damien Eagle Bear
2025-10-26 18:00 - 20:30 | British Columbia
TELUS originals is proud to announce the world premiere of #skoden, a new feature documentary by Damien Eagle Bear. The film explores the story behind one of NDN Country’s most iconic memes and reclaims the humanity of the man at its center, Pernell Bad Arm.

#Skoden is written, directed and produced by Damien Eagle Bear (Napi, Big Momma, The Bannocking). It was filmed on location in Lethbridge and the Blood Reserve on traditional Blackfoot Territory.

Every meme has its story. #skoden delves into the origins of NDN country’s most iconic meme to redefine the man at the center of it all, Pernell Bad Arm. In the early days of social media, a notorious image circulated of an Indigenous man with raised fists, ready to strike. The photo was initially shared to mock and reinforce stereotypes of Indigenous peoples, but one word added to the image would change it forever. SKODEN – an Indigenous shortening of “let’s go then” – ignited an instant Indigenous pop culture icon that spread like wildfire across Turtle Island and beyond. But underneath the viral fame was a kind and generous Blackfoot man from Kainai who faced immense challenges while living on the streets. This documentary seeks to reclaim Pernell’s humanity, offering a deeper, more complex portrait of the man behind the meme. ​This is his story.

Join us after the film for a discussion with Writer, Director and Producer Damien Eagle Bear
