Closing out the New Leaves Festival of Arts and Culture is a festival favourite: the 10th annual PONY! Cabaret. Kelowna’s premier queer performance night, PONY! only comes once a year. Featuring the sexy and hysterical hosting of Mister Sister, aka Ms. Cookie LaWhore and Erin Scott, and a rogues’ gallery of queer and allied performers including the formidable post-noise-rock trio, Down the Lees; two-spirit tease drag artist Rez Daddy; Ottawa singer-songwriter Glenn Nuotio; queer Nisga’a writer and sound artist Jordan Abel; and San Francisco’s artist-activist performers Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens. Last year’s event sold out, so get your tickets now!

Tickets available through the Revelry website starting at $22.50 - $75 + Applicable Fees.

This event is 19+. Revelry is fully accessible on both floors.
