Funtastic Music Festival

Vernon’s Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and Music Festival is going local for entertainment this year.

“Funtastic is supporting those who supported us and keeping it local with a great lineup of talent musicians who are lucky to call the Okanagan home,” the Funtastic Sports Society said in a press release.

Entertainment kicks off on the Thursday of Funtastic with the Shawn Lightfoot Band.

The Shawn Lightfoot Band is known for its high-energy show and has opened for the likes of Platinum Blonde and Big Sugar.

Tickets are on sale now via the Funtastic website. Day passes are $30, and weekend pass is $60 (plus service charges).

Proceeds from the event, one of the North Okanagan’s biggest, are funnelled back into the community. To date, Funtastic has made grants of more than $2.1 million to local non-profits and sports groups.
