Get ready for two hours of heart-pounding, fast-paced family entertainment when the 7th annual Okanagan Military Tattoo returns to Vernon in July. The Okanagan Military Tattoo will stir your heart and feed your soul. It is Vernon’s largest annual indoor event and Western Canada’s only military tattoo.

The Tattoo will take place at Kal Tire Place with an evening performance on Saturday, July 23 at 7:00 p.m., and a matinee on Sunday, July 24 at 2:00 p.m.

Over 400 performers will take part, including First Nations, massed pipes and drums, highland dancers, military and civilian bands, cultural troops, precision drills, singers, and the poignant refrain of the Lone Piper against the stunning backdrop of “the Castle”.

Plans for the 2022 Okanagan Military Tattoo include the 35 member Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Pipes & Drums of the Canadian Scottish Regiment. The Langley Ukelele Ensemble will wow the audience, as will the Okanagan Tattoo Dancers.

The annual “Tribute to the Veterans” segment of the program will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid.
