ABOUT SUMMERLAND’S RYGA ART FESTIVAL

www.rygafest.ca

Summerland is a rural municipality on the west side of the Okanagan Lake in Interior BC.

Every year since 2015, Summerland’s Ryga Arts Festival reimagines our small town to be a vibrant meeting place of the arts and community. For a full week, presentations, performances, new creations, concerts, readings & symposiums on contemporary social issues take place in parks, street fronts, local shops, galleries, etc. All within walking distance from each other.

We aim to bridge barriers that may prevent anyone from participating in our communities and the arts, be these ability, cultural, economic, historic, physical, regional or otherwise. We will find a role for you.

We are grateful for their ongoing stewardship & hold ourselves responsible for listening, learning, and building right relations through the work we do.
