Kelowna’s second annual Queer Zine Fair, hosted Kelowna’s second annual Queer Zine Fair, hosted by Kelowna Museums and the University of British Columbia Okanagan Library at the beautiful Laurel Packinghouse on June 5th, 6:00 – 8:00 PM!

The queer zine fair will showcase and celebrate zines created by 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals or focusing on 2SLGBTQIA+ themes. Queer artists, writers, and creatives can sign up for free to sell, trade, or give away their zines.

Zines have been a powerful underground and DIY force of expression and cultural movement in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community since the ‘70s. Newbies are invited to come learn more!

At 8:15 PM, the fair will be followed by an open mic where attendees or exhibitors will be invited to further share their creativity. Sign up at the event to share spoken word, music, comedy, or read passages from your zines aloud.

Interested in a booth? Visit the link in our profile or email Erik Beardmore at ebeardmore@kelownamuseums.ca.

Meet Ally, our Laurel Bookings Coordinator! Ally Meet Ally, our Laurel Bookings Coordinator!

Ally has the pleasure of working in one of Kelowna’s most beautiful heritage buildings – the @LaurelPackinghouse. As part of her role, she manages bookings for the Laurel, transforming it into the perfect venue for a wide variety of events. From Candlelight Concerts and weddings to fundraisers, galas, corporate meetings, artisan markets, graduations, and more, Ally helps ensure every event is a success.

“The best part of my job is seeing how this heritage building is transformed many ways. It truly is a versatile space that can have the simplest set to the most extravagant set yet still can showcase the building. It feels like we are a large part of the community with the events we have here. The clients are great too 😊!”

Before Ally began working at the Laurel, she was already a fan of the venue. “When I played Roller Derby, we rented this venue for our Halloween Party in 2016, and our players still talk about how amazing it was to be in this building. And no, we did not wear our roller skates inside…” Even then she was keen to protect the beautiful wooden floorboards!
