7th Annual Organic Okanagan Festival
The Organic Okanagan Festival (OOF) is the Okanagan's Finest Green Living Expo! At the OOF attendees will enjoy all the entertainment including: the lecture series, live music, our Consignment is Cool fashion show, the children's entertainment and the entire marketplace with over 70 green living exhibitors.
Enjoy, sample, shop and learn with Activist Alley, the Green Living Marketplace, a Certified Organic Farmer's Market and much more!
General admission is $7 at the door plus a non-perishable food item for the Kelowna Community Food Bank - help us raise 2000 lbs. of food in one day! Students & seniors $5 at the door. Children under 12, FREE admission!
Bike riders $3 admission *Cyclists please enjoy the free bike valet service courtesy of the Kelowna Cycling Coalition.
The theme for the 2012 Organic Okanagan Festival is “Love the Apple – NO GMO”. A small BC company called Okanagan Specialty Fruits has submitted a request to Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for approval of a genetically modified (GM) “non-browning” apple. Contamination from GM apples threatens the future of our apples, and the farmers who grow them. The OOF vision of celebrating organic apples includes organic apple tastings, organic apple pies, an organic apple juice bar, an apple panel, apple art and much more!
Okanagan and eco-conscious, natural and thought provoking, the Organic Okanagan Festival is your community-based event showcasing our growing green choices.
