Get creative at Wilden

- STEVE MacNAULL

Wilden, the Okanagan’s largest master-planned community, is about more than houses. It’s about life, art, music, food, wine, beer, design and exercise.

As such, the developmen­t is hosting its third annual Wilden Creativity Day on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Wilden Presentati­on Centre and Show Home at 1454 Rocky Point Dr.

The festival isn’t just for residents of Wilden, but for anyone interested in checking out the new show homes and art exhibition, catching some live music, sipping beer and-or wine, eating gelato and-or chocolate or testing an electric bike.

The open show homes are the two newest at Rocky Point by Rykon Constructi­on and buider-developer Wilden.

The best of the 250 wildlife photos submitted to Wilden’s Wild Kelowna contest will also be on display and the winner will be announced during the festivitie­s.
