Where Black Tie Meets BarefootAn exclusive, one‑night‑only celebration on Kelowna’s waterfront — deliberately breaking the rules of what a gala can be.
The Flip Flop Gala is an elevated Okanagan experience designed for those who appreciate contrast: formal elegance paired with laid‑back confidence, refinement with a wink, prestige without pretence.
Set directly in front of the Waterfront Performance Stage, guests are placed at the very centre of the experience - not watching from the sidelines, but part of the moment itself.
This is not a typical gala.
Expect tuxedos and bow ties. Sequins and silk.
And beneath the elegance? Flip flops. Bare feet. Sandals.
Formal on top. Beach on the bottom.
It’s elevated irreverence.
Sophisticated yet unbuttoned.
High‑energy yet intentionally intimate.
Proudly local. Unexpected. Unmistakably Kelowna.
As the night unfolds, curated lighting and sound transform the waterfront into a cinematic open‑air venue. A live DJ set sets the tone, while surprise, organic moments — familiar local faces, subtle hometown nods - emerge naturally throughout the evening.
There are no velvet ropes here.
No backstage. No VIP separation.
Guests mingle freely, from the dance floor to bespoke cabana‑style lounge spaces designed for conversation, connection, and people‑watching.
An intentionally limited experience.
Your ticket includes:
A welcome cocktail on arrival
Elevated food grazing stations showcasing local flavours
Additional beverages will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
Tickets are intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy and atmosphere of the event.
Once tickets are sold out - that’s it.
