Cawston, BC – Get ready to sip, savour, and sway under the summer sun at the 1st Annual Similkameen Cider & Music Festival, happening Saturday, June 1 from 1–5 PM on the stunning orchard grounds of Row Fourteen Restaurant & Klippers Organics — nestled in the heart of Cawston, the organic capital of Canada.

Set against a backdrop of organic orchards and dramatic mountain views, this vibrant outdoor celebration brings together the best of BC’s booming craft cider industry, incredible live music, local food, and a bustling artisan marketplace — all in one unforgettable afternoon.

Musical Highlights

The festival’s headliner is none other than Kuba Oms, a Grammy-nominated artist whose unique fusion of soul, funk, and electronic pop has earned him international acclaim. With over 20 million streams across platforms, Kuba is known for radio hits like “My Love” and “Electrolove,” and is now making waves with his latest single “Shine,” a fresh and uplifting anthem that captures the spirit of renewal and joy.

Kuba will be backed by an all-star band featuring the ultra-groovy Mad Riddim, acclaimed guitarist Alex Flock, and the powerhouse keyboardist and composer Mary Ancheta — together delivering an unforgettable high-energy performance that will turn the orchard into a dance floor.

Opening the afternoon is Tristan Telle, a local favourite from the Okanagan known for his warm, soulful voice and heartfelt songwriting — the perfect way to ease into an afternoon of sunshine and celebration.
