Start your day by heading outdoors. Explore the historic trestles of Myra Canyon on foot or by bike, where sweeping valley views make every step worthwhile. Take on one of the city’s many hiking trails, from gentle lakeside strolls to challenging climbs. After your adventure, treat yourself to a well-earned glass of Okanagan wine at one of the region’s welcoming wineries.
If the lake is calling, Kelowna's beaches are ready to deliver. Lounge on soft sand, swim in warm water, or try your hand at activities like paddleboarding, wakeboarding, parasailing, jet skiing, or even jetpack and hydrofly experiences. Beach volleyball courts and waterfront parks offer plenty of ways to stay active while enjoying the sunshine.
Waterfront Boardwalk
For a slower pace, the waterfront boardwalk is a must. Stroll past sparkling lake views, visit the Kelowna Visitor Centre for local tips, and explore the nearby cafes, restaurants, and artisan shops.
Kelowna’s downtown core also brims with year-round arts and entertainment:
- Actors Studio: Savour dinner and a show at the city’s only licensed dinner theatre, featuring a four-course meal thoughtfully paired with the evening’s performance. Vegetarian options are available.
- Kelowna Art Gallery: Discover rotating exhibitions from both local artists and nationally recognized talent. Admission is free on Thursdays.
- Kelowna Community Theatre: Enjoy a variety of live performances, from music and dance to theatre and comedy.
- Festivals Kelowna: Keep an eye out for free concerts, seasonal celebrations, and family-friendly events happening throughout the year.
From active days outdoors to evenings immersed in culture, Kelowna’s activities are as diverse as the people who enjoy them—ensuring that no matter your interests, you’ll find a warm welcome and something inspiring to do.
