If you like great music, fun crowds and dancing in the park, plan your Saturday evening to be at Beasley Park in Lake Country on July 22nd. High energy feature performers are guitar pickin’ country gentleman Ben Klick and well-known Okanagan-based Celtic band Cod Gone Wild.

“Klick is a guitar slinging, unique, high energy country artist; and Cod Gone Wild is recognized for their modern edgy Celtic sound that appeals to every audience,” said Ryan Donn, Cultural Development Coordinator. “This is going to be the highlight summer performance in Lake Country of the 2017 season.”
