Rock the Vote Penticton

Rocking the Vote in South Okanagan

Rock the Vote Penticton was an initiative to encourage younger voters to participate in the Nov. 15, 2014, municipal election. The event, held at The Barking Parrot, featured two youth bands. Several of the candidates were in attendance, as well. The event was organized and hosted by David MacCoubrey.

On top of two bands, MacCoubrey produced a hip-hop video with a local rapper, The Chef. The effort seemed to pay off as the 2014 election saw the highest youth voter turnout up to that time in Penticton.

Rock the Peach Music Festival, which took place July 27-29, 2012, at Kings Park in Penticton, had put together a “Battle to Rock the Peach” contest, with the winner taking the opening slot at the Festival on Friday night. The lucky band joined a talented lineup scheduled for the weekend, which included Ronnie Dunn, Sam Roberts Band, Collective Soul, and many more!
