Kelowna and the Central Okanagan are open and local tourism businesses are ready to welcome you safely. We recommend you check the conditions and call ahead to any businesses you plan to visit. We encourage you to contact our community and visitor services team for updated information.
Parts of the Central Okanagan continue to deal with the effects of wildfire. Please pay attention to alerts or restrictions in place and follow any updates or orders from Central Okanagan Emergency Operations at cordemergency.ca.
