About Kelowna Forum

Welcome to the Kelowna Forum venue page. Located at 1317 Ethel Street in downtown Kelowna, this historic space has a rich history of hosting community events and performances, including notable jazz and blues showcases. As of late 2024, the building has been purchased by Kelowna Legion Branch 26 and is transitioning to Legion use, marking an evolution in the space’s purpose. While the branding of Kelowna Forum has been superseded by the Legion, the site remains a central downtown venue with legacy performances and a straightforward path for future events. Below you'll find practical details to help you plan: seating possibilities (subject to current event configuration), parking options, transit access, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations, including affiliate partners for convenient lodging and meals.

Because the venue is transitioning to Legion occupancy, seating layouts and official capacity details may vary by event. We recommend checking the specific event page for seating notes, and using the local parking garages and city lots for convenient downtown access. If you’re planning around a show, secure your seats early through trusted sources, and consider nearby partner hotels for a hassle-free stay. We’ve got you covered with practical guidance and nearby options to help you make the most of your Kelowna visit.
