The City of Kelowna noted that festivity set-ups will take place on Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“During this time, the lakefront promenade will be closed from the north end of Tugboat Beach through Rotary Marsh and Sunset Drive,” said the city.

“Visitors may still access Waterfront Park at this time via Rhapsody Plaza on Water Street.”

With the large influx of people, Kelowna RCMP said there will also be an increase in policing that day.
