The Festival

The Central Okanagan Performing Arts Festival (COPAF) is a board-governed, non-profit charitable organization that produces an annual regional festival open to public membership.

Our mission is to support the next generation of young and emerging performers through our annual festival, providing a professional, supportive environment. Participants can present their work, receive valuable feedback from national adjudicators, and connect with peers and audiences through the performing arts.

Belief Statement

We believe that meaningful collaboration with stakeholders and a focused strategic approach are essential to the festival’s continued growth. This foundation enables us to deliver high-caliber programming and respond to the expanding needs of the performing arts community.

Support

We rely on the support of volunteers, donors, and sponsors to fulfill our mission. Their contributions help ensure that each performer has an enriching festival experience that fosters continued growth in their discipline.
