The MRG Group, a leader in North American live entertainment and venue management, is pleased to announce it has taken over the operations, talent booking, and production for The Revelry, effective September 1, 2025.
This arrangement will bring MRG’s extensive experience in live events to one of the key properties in the Okanagan Valley’s vibrant entertainment scene in the fastest growing city in Canada, Kelowna.
“Shortly after MRG approached us, it became clear we shared a common vision for integrating hospitality with the live event experience. MRG Live will now manage live entertainment bookings and event delivery, ensuring that Kelowna becomes a regular stop for national touring acts. Alongside, MRG’s hospitality arm, will be providing substantial support for the continued expansion of our private events, corporate events and pub night formats.”

“We are incredibly excited to bring our operational, production and booking expertise to Revelry; we see immense potential to build on its initial success in serving as not only a great routing market but also an opportunity for artists to visit one of Canada’s most beautiful cities. Our goal is to make Revelry a must-play destination for touring artists and the go-to spot for memorable nights out in Kelowna.”

We’re confident that our shared values and vision will create an even more exceptional venue for the community to enjoy.”
