Elysium Gardens Fall Festival raises funds for Kelowna Gospel Mission

The October Fall Festival at Elysium Gardens in Kelowna concluded its final weekend on October 24, 2026. The event, hosted on an 18-acre plot managed by Authentic Walk Ministries, featured attractions such as dinosaur displays, bouncy castles, and a 1919 Ford Model T.

All ticket sales from the festival, priced at $20 per family, were donated to the Kelowna Gospel Mission to support individuals facing homelessness in the community. Throughout October, the festival also supported other local causes, including Freedoms Door and Young Life.

Chris Priebe, director of Authentic Walk Ministries and owner of Elysium Gardens, noted that the event has grown in size each week. While continuing the annual October tradition, Priebe expressed interest in offering quiet tours and potentially developing a small retreat centre on the neighboring property for spiritual formation and training.
