This year, on May 30, as part of Tourism Week, let's celebrate who we are and where we live. Show your love for Kelowna and the Central Okanagan and #exploreKelownalocal by:
- Exploring your favourite park or outdoor space
- Visiting, or giving a shout out, to your favourite local business
- Savouring a dish from your go-to restaurant
- Enjoying a tasting flight at a brewery
- Heading for a wine tasting or grabbing a bottle of local wine to enjoy at home
- Sharing a photo of the scenic view from your backyard
- Showing appreciation for someone who works in the tourism industry
The list could go on and on—just be sure to have fun with it!
In addition, we encourage everyone to wear your favourite Kelowna or Okanagan apparel while you explore our beautiful region. For more ideas of ways to #exploreKelownalocal on May 30, click here.
