The Trews to perform in Sun Peaks March 4, 2023

The Ontario-based, six-time Juno nominated rock band, The Trews will headline a weekend of free outdoor concerts in Sun Peaks March 3-4, 2023. On tour with their seventh studio album, the Canadian band will perform live in the Sun Peaks village as part of the 7 Celebrations – Reconnecting in Sun Peaks event series.

Along with The Trews, Sun Peaks will welcome #1 rated on the Indigenous Music Countdown band, the Margit Sky Project, BC local Duane Marchand, The Young’uns, and Soul Patch.

“We are thrilled to be working with the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association to offer a weekend of celebration of Indigenous culture and to be able to host variety of outdoor concerts that will be free for all to attend” said Arlene Schieven, President and CEO of Tourism Sun Peaks.

The 7 Celebrations – Reconnect in the Thompson Okanagan event series, in partnership with the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, funded by the Canadian Heritage Grant is a celebration of the deeply rooted, rich cultures that are historic to our province. A significant part of this culture involves the Indigenous communities like the Secwepemc peoples, native to Swelkwek’welt (otherwise known as Sun Peaks) that used and cared for these lands for upwards of 8000 years. Throughout the weekend, Secwepemc storytellers and entertainers like Kenthen Thomas and Paul Michel will be here to unravel Indigenous legends and education about the histories of their ancestors. Sage Hills Drum Group and Dancers will join the entertainment line-up, performing live outdoors. 

The last pillar of the event will be the “Reconnecting in Sun Peaks Artisan Market.” Located at the Sun Peaks Centre, this artisan market will feature an array of Indigenous artisans and creators.
