As winner of the 2015 Domenic Troiano Guitar Award (CDN), 2011 Worldwide Guitar Idol (held in London, UK), 2010 Guitar Superstar contest (LA, USA) and the 2007 International Fingerstyle Championships, Don Alder (from Vancouver, BC) has earned his place as one of the top acoustic guitarists in the world.
Alder’s music also speaks for itself; his 2009 CD “Not A Planet” was nominated for two prestigious Music Industry Awards. His music is a unique combination of deeply textured melody and story. Lyrical and compelling, his original songs are notes of exploration – some passionate and haunting, some hard-driven, others light and easing. In quiet pieces or pushing right to the edge, Don's phenomenal finger style playing and rich voice captivate. Don is also recognized as one of the of the world's top harp guitarists. His last album “Armed & Dangerous” was released Sept 1st, 2015. It pays homage to the popular “Walking Dead” television series, Alder blends his signature technical prowess with deep emotion and expression. The CD sounds more like an improvised, spontaneous performance rather than a meticulously recorded set of songs and Alder’s unique approach on the guitar is captured with the intensity of a live concert.

Get ready to turn it loud with Canada’s iconic female rock vocalist Darby Mills. A veteran in the Canadian music industry and gifted with a set of musical pipes that has become one of the most recognized voices in Canadian Rock history.

Tasting includes wine flight and charcuterie. Tickets must be purchased in advance of the event via our online store at: store.predatorridge.com

This event will start at 5:30 PM with food, speeches, and presentations for the longest day of the year. As this day is also Indigenous Peoples’ Day and we want to celebrate our First People, First Nations Elder Molly Bono will speak about indigenous peoples and the summer solstice.

A BBQ is also being organized by the Silver Star Rotary Club with the BBQ fees going to the Ken Barton Education Centre as the ABNC’s founder was a prominent member of this service club. Solstice burgers will be served!

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will have telescopes on site to view the sun and the moon plus they will lead groups down to the Analemmatic Sundial to demonstrate its use and talk about what the summer solstice really is.

Guides will also take participants along the Nature Centre trails and show them some of nature’s delights.

We have all had that 'Okanagan moment'.


That moment when you feel the cool breeze off the lake on a summer night. The sun is setting and you are surrounded by the natural scenery. The evening will celebrate "Excellence in the Arts" and showcase a wearable art fashion show, visual artists creating pieces in real time, and acoustic music – all featuring talented local artists.

Funds raised from the Summer Solstice for the Arts will be used to create a legacy fund dedicated to promoting a vibrant arts and culture community in our area. Join us for this intimate evening on the longest day of the year: it will be a night for people to get together with friends and family to enjoy a farm-to-table dinner, local wine, and local artistic talent.

Join us every Friday night from 6:30pm-8:30pm for woodfire pizza, wine and live music at Blind Tiger Vineyards!

Tickets are $10 per person and available online for purchase. Tickets cover entertainment only (food and beverages sold separately).

You can purchase your ticket online, visit the website's event page for more details.
