Why sponsor the Kelowna Classic?

The tournament takes place at City Park, one of Kelowna’s busiest summer waterfront locations, with strong visibility among tourists, beach users, cyclists, families, pedestrians, and downtown visitors.

Sponsorship supports youth sport, adult recreation, athlete development, and the continued growth of open-water water polo in the Okanagan.

Where your support goes

Shade & Tents

Tents and shaded areas support athlete recovery, officials, score tables, volunteers, medical areas, and spectator comfort during peak summer conditions.

Welcome Packs

Welcome pack items help sponsors connect directly with visiting athletes, coaches, and families when they arrive for the tournament.

Youth Sport

Sponsorship helps keep the event accessible while supporting youth athlete development and the growth of water polo in the Okanagan.

Community & organizational support

The Kelowna Classic is proud to receive support from community and sport organizations that help make the tournament possible.

We gratefully acknowledge support from the City of Kelowna and Water Polo West, along with the local volunteers, officials, coaches, and community partners who help deliver the event.
