Friday Night Live
History

North Shuswap summer music events began in 2010, when the former Fireweed Gallery hosted Friday night shows on their outdoor stage…

In 2013, property owner Barry Warkentin collaborated with local businesses to host Friday Night Live in the parking lot in front of the library. The following year, a stage was built behind the building to take advantage of the lawn for the audience. With funding from local business sponsors and audience donations, the bands were able to be paid.

In 2018, Friday Night Live moved to the field behind the Hub, where it was a success for two seasons. The event was cancelled for 3 years due to COVID and other issues. It began again in 2023 thanks to increased funding from many sponsors including the CSRD and in 2024, the Shuswap Community Foundation.

Bands come from as far away as Vancouver, Kelowna and Toronto, crowd numbers have grown significantly, and attendees enjoy the beer garden, night market and food trucks – all thanks to volunteers working within a well-organized non-profit society. The Friday Night Live series of shows has become the North Shuswap’s most popular and well-attended event of the year.
