SUMMARY:Nature Talks (Osoyoos Desert Centre)
DESCRIPTION:High Tea at the ODC – Sunday August 11th \nPlants have been vital for human survival for centuries\, but before there were grocery stores to ease the gathering process\, humans had to forage to gain knowledge about what to eat. Learning about the plants that grow in our backyards and communities can be useful and help us feel more connected to the ecosystem around us. 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. She’ll have some of her brews on hand to sample. \nAll Nature Talks start at 11 am and are free with admission.\nAdmission: Family – $25 (Max 2 adults & children under 18); Adults – $10; Seniors (65+) – $9; Youth (ages 6-17) – $8; Children (5 and under) – Free\nAdmission to the Desert Centre includes either a guided or self-guided tour.

SUMMARY:Fantastic Firehall Festival (Firehall Brewery)
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nFEATURING:\nDEATH/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.\nSTUCK 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.\nTHE 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.\nBUCKET 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.\nMOONBATHER 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.\nIDIOFAME 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.\nHARDBALL 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.\nBLACK 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.\n\n8 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.\nSponsored by Respect Record & Skate Shop on Main Street in Oliver! https://www.respectrecordandskate.com/\nPLEASE READ: Seating will be limited and first-come-first-serve. Door security will be checking bags. Alcohol consumption is not permitted outside the concert area (ex: parking lot\, alleyway\, etc).\nTickets are non-refundable.
