This is one event you won’t want to miss. The 23rd annual Fat Cat Children’s Festival happens June 6 and 7 at Waterfront Park, Kelowna.
You can help create a safe place for groups to children to have fun, be immersed in artistic expression, and make memories.
So maybe you have heard of the Interior Savings Fat Cat Children’s Festival but don’t know what it has to offer our community and where you can make a difference.
