Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre

The Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre (VDPAC) offers a wide variety of live performances, workshops, and events throughout the year. Run by a non-profit society and supported by over 200 volunteers, the VDPAC presents its annual SPOTLIGHT Season, featuring diverse professional shows in dance, theatre, music, festivals and events. The Centre also provides opportunities for community engagement through programs, rentals, and memberships.

The Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre is more than a venue for live performances—it's a community hub that brings people together through the arts. Whether attending a show in their SPOTLIGHT Series or engaging in one of the many workshops, there's always something for everyone. From internationally renowned dance companies to family-friendly performances in the Kids Series, the Centre ensures high-quality entertainment for all ages. Their flexible subscription packages, such as the Dance Series or Theatre Series, offer excellent value for those looking to immerse themselves in the local arts scene.

Beyond the performances, the VDPAC offers a range of community engagement activities, from kids' workshops to volunteer opportunities. This makes it an active player in fostering both emerging and established talent. Their "On Stage Concerts" also provide a unique way to experience live music, with intimate performances where the audience sits right on the stage with the performers. For local artists or organizations, the facility rentals offer state-of-the-art spaces for events, equipped with the latest technology. Renting these spaces not only supports local arts but also opens up a versatile and inspiring environment for private or community events.
