Bands, BBQ, Beers, and Balding

Saturday, April 11, 2026 | 6pm - Midnight

Laurel Packinghouse

Tickets - $70 (includes dinner)

The 12th annual Bands, BBQ, Beers, and Balding brings more than 200 people together for an unforgettable night of great food, live music, and community impact.

Enjoy live tunes from Izzy and Sad Tom and the Noodles, savour incredible eats prepared by the Okanagan Chefs Association, and get in on wicked prizes through draw tickets. Then at 10pm, a few brave volunteers shave their heads in support of kids and families battling cancer at BC Children’s Hospital before the dance floor officially opens.

Every single dollar raised is split equally between JoeAnna’s House at KGH and BC Children’s Hospital’s Balding for Dollars program. There are no fees, no profits, and no one makes a penny. Everything is donated.

Tickets will be available at the door. Come hungry, come ready to dance, and come ready to make a difference!
