4/4
Penticton Peach Festival

When: August 6-10
Where: Several locations in Penticton
Cost: Free entry to all of the parks

Bringing the fam along for the ride? Then plan your visit around Peachfest. This formerly raucous booze-fuelled party is now fully family-friendly and includes a parade, sandcastle competition, square dance festival and a lineup of entertainment that will please both parents and kids.

Prospera GranFondo Axel Merckx Okanagan

When: July 13
Where: Gyro Park, 100-block Main Street
Cost: $130-$195 until June 16, $150-$225 until July 6

If seeing the Okanagan Valley on two wheels is more your speed, register for the GranFondo Axel Merckx Okanagan, which offers three options for riders – Cortofondo (55 km), Mediofondo (92 km) or Granfondo (160 km). And if the scenic views aren’t incentive enough, riding alongside the likes of Olympic gold-medalist Clara Hughes just might be.

2/4
Annual Penticton Elvis Festival

When: June 27-29
Where: Okanagan Lake Park and Penticton Trade & Convention Centre, 273 Power Street
Cost: Fri. $10, Sat. $15, wristband $20

Shake, rattle and roll your way around Okanagan Lake as dozens of Elvis tribute artists emulate the King at the 12th annual Penticton Elvis Festival.

The Okanagan has more than just beautiful wine (but there's plenty of that too!). Head to Penticton this season for a sunny summer adventure

With its freshwater, wineries and famed foodie hot spots, the Okanagan is ripe for a weekend getaway all summer long. These events will make your road trip that much more memorable.
