Kelowna Fan Experience ’22
After a three-year hiatus, the Kelowna Fan Experience is back with a three-day event loaded with celebrity guests, artists, cosplayers, comic book writers and more.
“KFX is kicking off! We’re coming back in a big way because we couldn’t put on the event for the last couple of years, so we really wanted to come back in full swing and give the Okanagan a jam packed event where there is really something for everyone,” explained KFX producer Kimberly Billinton.
Many event-goers filled the Delta Grand Hotel ballroom Friday night dressed as their favourite fictional characters, and everyone seemed happy to share the experience with fellow content lovers and creators.
“It feels amazing! It’s great to be back, it’s awesome to be here. And honestly, it’s really just a great vibe with great energy. I’m just glad people have been so positive in the community in the lead up to it and in the event so far,” said KFX Founder Brock Grattz.
The weekend is filled with events in several locations including the Delta Grand Hotel, the Rotary Centre for the Arts, the Library, and Black Box Theatre featuring some big name guests doing meet and greets with the fans.
“We’ve got some really exciting guests coming out tomorrow. We’ve got Jett Klyne, who plays Tommy Maximov in Wanda Vision and Doctor Strange. And Baylen Bielitz who plays the young version of Billy in Wanda Vision, we’ve got Roark Critchlow from Days of our Lives and Pretty Little Liars, we’ve got comic book artist John Delaney who’s coming to do a panel,” said Billinton.
The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Saturday, and wraps up on Sunday at 4:30 p.m.
