Golden Anniversary Kickoff Concert/Dance

A Sparkling Celebration to Kick Off the Centre’s 50th Anniversary Week!

On Friday, September 18 at 7 pm, the Ryga Arts Festival and the Summerland Community Centre are joining forces for an uplifting evening that celebrates the Arts and launches a full week of anniversary festivities at the Centre.

The night features two standout musical acts also joining their talents:

Yanti — beloved across the Okanagan for her powerful, evocative voice and magnetic stage presence. She has graced the Centre’s stage many times in various musical configurations, and this evening marks another joyful chapter in her ongoing relationship with our community.

The Cramer Brothers — Will and Dan began their musical journey years ago with a 1950s‑style jazz trio that quickly gained attention. Their performances have taken them from Edmonton’s first Fringe Festival to television appearances and most recently to Ignite the Arts (2024) in Penticton.

Together, these artists promise an evening filled with heart, talent, and celebration.

Join us as we honour the passion for the Arts that runs deep in Summerland and rev up for the Centre’s 50th Anniversary Celebration Week!

Tickets are by donation and will be available at Artisans of the Okanagan starting in early August. You can also secure your spot by e‑transfer until September 16 to:  summerlandcommunitycentre@gmail.com.  Fun snacks and a cash bar for wine and beer will be available.
