The Car Party - High Octane Good Vibes (2024) celebrated Kelowna's vibrant and youthful car culture, blending it seamlessly with the local music scene. Set at the exclusive and fenced location of Mirror Image Penticton—a premier car customization shop—the event was a roaring success, bringing together car enthusiasts, music lovers, and the general public for an unforgettable experience.
The highlight of the event was the $150,000 + truck stage, owned by Avery from Rust Valley Restorations (featured on Netflix, History TV, and Prime TV). This incredible vehicle transformed on-site, unfolding from a truck into a fully functional stage complete with a state-of-the-art sound system (iAmi Sound), reminiscent of a real-life transformer! Avery’s presence, along with his extraordinary stage, was an invaluable addition to the event, drawing in crowds and excitement.
Our venue allowed for the creation of a Burnout Box—an exclusive area where car enthusiasts could safely perform burnouts, creating an electrifying environment that had the car community buzzing. The lot was filled with a range of impressive vehicles, while the sounds of revving engines and music created an atmosphere unlike any other.
Music was at the heart of the event, with award-winning artist and car enthusiast Bdice from Vancouver headlining the performance. Alongside him, a lineup of talented DJs kept the energy high and the beats pumping, adding to the festival feel of the party.
The event attracted a fantastic crowd, with car lovers filling the lot, curious onlookers joining, and the surrounding streets lined with additional cars. As we look forward to future gatherings, we’re brainstorming new ideas to amplify the experience even further—because when it comes to Kelowna’s car community, we believe the party’s only just begun.
