Vernon - Make it Yours

Welcome to Tourism Vernon’s new website.  Tourism Vernon is the official tourism organization for the community and operates the Vernon Visitor Centres.  We invite you to visit us regularly to catch up on all that is new in Vernon or check out our Facebook page for information and photos of current activities in and around Vernon.     

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, here for a day, a weekend, or the best time of your life, you’ll be amazed at what Vernon has to offer. If you’ve never ventured off Highway 97 when travelling through the North Okanagan, we invite you to make a turn in the right direction and visit our family-friendly community.

Vernon offers more than 100 lakes within a one-hour drive, world-class golf, mountain and wellness resorts, great beaches and trails, outstanding mountain biking, spectacular farmers’ markets three days a week, and family-friendly attractions and festivals.

Check in, check it out and make Vernon yours!
