City of Gastronomy

Residents, visitors, and local businesses come together during Meet Me on Bernard, a lively summer street experience that transforms Bernard Avenue into a pedestrian-friendly gathering space in Kelowna. Throughout the season, the downtown street becomes a welcoming place to stroll, relax, and enjoy the vibrant energy of the city.

The atmosphere is lively and social as people gather to enjoy expanded patios, street seating, and community programming. With the road temporarily closed to vehicle traffic, visitors can explore shops, cafés, restaurants, and public spaces while taking in the relaxed summer vibe of downtown Kelowna.
