Love for Kelowna Day began as a way to lift up our community after challenging times—and it's grown into an annual tradition. This is a day to reflect on how lucky we are to live in a place where lake meets mountain, where land gives so much, and where neighbours feel like friends. Celebrate your Love for Kelowna on World Tourism Day, September 27, 2025. 

This is your official invitation to play tourist, support small businesses, and explore the rich, spirited heart of our home. Whether you’ve lived here forever or just arrived last week, there’s no better day to discover what makes Kelowna special.
