Ryga Arts Festival Previous Next Event Category: BC’s Best Festivals & Events ProfilePhotosMap The RYGA ARTS FESTIVAL is a vibrant celebration of the arts in the spectacular Okanagan valley of British Columbia. Inspired by George Ryga, it takes place in Summerland in mid-September. Summerland’s Ryga Arts Festival is a multi-day arts festival featuring live music, play readings and artistic workshops, symposiums, and more, all with a connection to – or inspired by – internationally-performed Canadian playwright, novelist, poet, and Summerland resident George Ryga (1932 – 1987). The Ryga household was always full of music, discussions, poetry and theatre, and the love of language, learning, and expression and the Ryga Festival continues that tradition. Loading...
