The LocationÂ
Kelowna is widely known as one of the top tourist destinations in Canada, with its Beautiful beaches, hot climate, and hillsides covered with orchards and wineries, its easy to understand why so many people flock to Kelowna in the summer.

MECOG started out as a beach volleyball festival in 2007 called ‘Volleyfest‘ and has since grown exponentially larger every year. MECOG features 6 spectator sports zones featuring athletes competing in beach volleyball, basketball, wakeboarding, wakeskating, freestyle motocross, BMX and skateboarding for some major cash prizes. The festival also has 3 interactive sports zones that allow attendees to compete alongside friends and take part in the competitive spirit of the weekend including Zorb Soccer, Rec.
