Center of Gravity Festival was a unique fusion of music and action sports, held in the heart of Kelowna on Okanagan Lake at City Park. Founded in 2008 by Scott Emslie and produced by Wet Ape Productions, with later involvement from Live Nation Canada, the festival blended an official EDM/electronic music focus with hip-hop and rock acts across three stages. The event carved out a niche by integrating eight sports—beach volleyball, crossfit, basketball, wakeboarding, freestyle mountain biking, FMX, skateboarding, and BMX—creating a lively, multi-sensory experience for music fans and thrill-seekers alike. Though the festival announced a hiatus and RESCHEDULED from 2019 with no return in 2020, its legacy remains a cornerstone of Kelowna’s summer entertainment scene.
