Kelowna has something for everyone this coming Canada Day long weekend. Whether you want to swim in the lake, dine in the vineyards, take in a festival, listen to live music, explore and learn with your family, or all of the above... the event selection this year will have you wearing red and white to show your Canadian pride.

Summer in the city: Kelowna's downtown is right on the lake and has lots of hot spots to chill out.

Impress your friends with these tasty summer cocktails made with local spirits, ciders, and farm fresh rhubarb.
