5 Reasons to Visit Kelowna in the Spring

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with RE/MAX Kelowna

Come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime! Spring is a great time to come see Kelowna and here are 5 reasons why!

 

1) You can often find better deals on accomadations when visiting during the non-peak season. With possible free upgrades and spring sales, this is one of the best times to vacation and get the best bang for your buck.

2) Visiting during the shoulder season is great especially for those who want a more relaxed environment. 

3) With local ski resorts still open until sometime in April and golf courses are already open , you can tell to your friends that you hit the slopes and the links all in one trip or day if you wanted! 

4) Some of Kelowna’s best festivals happen before the summer season. Foodies can get inspiration at the Okanagan Eats Food Show is in April. In May you can sip wine at the Spring Okanagan Wine Festival or try out a new beer lakeside at the Great Okanagan Beer Festival. If fruity flavors are more of your style then, BC Cider Week may be your thing.

5) Then in June, kids of all ages can enjoy family-friendly activities and performances at the Fat Cat Children's Festival at Waterfront Park in the heart of downtown Kelowna.

The Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon also takes place in June, attracting runners who want to enjoy a scenic course that has magnificent views of the lake and downtown Kelowna.

Like you needed another reason but if you do.....The Kettle Valley Rail Trail (KVR) and the Columbia & Western Rail Trail is the longest rail trail network in British Columbia extending from Hope to Castlegar. And the best part? You can hike, walk or bike 650 km of it throughout the Thompson Okanagan Region.

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. 

Thank you for your comment. The Kettle Valley Rail Trail are old train tracks that have been removed, it is now a walking trail that is stunningly beautiful there are the old tunnels that you go through too. I agree with you traveling by train is a great way to travel. It must have been a great trip to travel Europe by train.
