Brightside Earth Day Get Down (April 2018)
The Brightside Earth Day Get Down was a vibrant celebratio to honor the 49th annual Earth Day. Held in Kelowna, the event aimed to unite the community through art, live music, yoga, and performance arts, emphasizing our collective responsibility to Mother Earth.
The event brought together top artists from Kelowna's art, music, and wellness communities, including renowned speaker Chantelle Adams as our Goddess of Ceremonies. The day included a beautiful opening ceremony, an Earth Day yoga class, a heartwarming cacao ceremony, and an exhilarating ecstatic dance experience.
We showcased a diverse lineup of performances featuring Cosmic CoMotion, Femme Fatale Dance, The Poetry Elf, and many more, culminating in a lively social hour and dance party with Wes Please and Brightside DJs. Through this event, we fostered a sense of gratitude for the planet while creating a joyful space for community connection and positive change.
The Brightside Earth Day Get Down ignited my passion for advocacy-based events that unite communities for a common cause. This experience reinforced my belief in the power of creativity and collaboration to inspire positive change, reminding me that events can be impactful platforms for raising awareness and fostering a sense of responsibility toward our planet.
