Kelowna
With big city comforts and small town charm, Kelowna provides all the amenities of big city life: one-of-a-kind
shops, entertainment, festivals and vibrant culture. Nestled between Okanagan Lake and rolling mountain
ranges, Kelowna provides year round outdoor (entertainment) fun. Local farms, orchards and vineyards thrive
within a 10-minute drive of the downtown core, and provide fresh summer produce and delicious winter wines.
You can even pick your own fruit in season. Biking and hiking opportunities are abundant in the spring and
fall. The beach, of course, is the biggest draw in the summer - swim, boat, jet-ski, or just sun-bathe on the many
beaches of Kelowna.
If you prefer less active entertainment,
you can visit the many local wineries or
