Creative Okanagan proudly announces the launch of public access to the Central Okanagan Music Venue Database, a comprehensive resource designed to create an understanding of the current venue landscape in the Central Okanagan.
In 2023, Creative Okanagan embarked on a mission to compile valuable data from music venues and spaces regularly hosting music events throughout the Central Okanagan. The database features details our community indicated support a quality experience, catering to artists (both local and touring), promoters, agents, tour managers, funders, and potential investors. Users can access a wealth of information about each venue including venue capacity, stage and audio specifications, ticketing requirements, food and beverage availability, contact information and more.
The Central Okanagan Music Venue Database was a strategic goal of the Central Okanagan Music Strategy, which aims to advance the industry’s sustainability and focuses on how to support spaces, audiences, artists and partnerships. The ultimate goal is to have appropriate and adequate high-quality, thriving music spaces that prioritize safety and inclusivity in our region.
With the Central Okanagan Music Venue Database, you’ll be able to explore in-depth details regarding each venue, and apply filters to refine the details you seek. This ensures users can access precisely what they need, when they need it, whether they are planning events, seeking performance opportunities, or exploring potential partnerships.
The Central Okanagan Music Database is accessible now on the newly redeveloped Creative Okanagan website available for everyone to view.

This project was supported by Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia.
