Destination Profile

You're going to love it here! Our small city charm melds with our year-round cultural events, festivals, and celebrations. In the warmer months there's live music, outdoor theatre, sports tournaments, biking, hiking and wine festivals. Cooler weather just means a change to warmer clothes as you enjoy hot air balloons and snow sculptures at the winter carnival or head up the mountain for some cool fun.

Whether it's a morning on the links or a day on a lake, this is the place where you become the hero of your own story. Grab your bike, friends, and family, and enjoy the sweet smells of spring as you explore our grassland and lake trails.

Celebrate summer with beaches, lakes, outdoor adventure, and orchards pregnant with fruit, fresh vegetables, and farmers markets galore! There are over 20 beaches where you can soak up the sun and have some water fun. Taste the flavour of our home at our boutique wineries, our craft cidery, craft brewery, meadery, and award-winning distillery.

Our mild fall weather is perfect for outdoor adventure. Travel our provincial parks by foot or bike and enjoy our fall harvest festivals. Golfers will love our world-class courses that can be played from March to mid-November. Once the snow flies, head up to the mountain for some of the best winter recreation around.

We invite you to make our home your home away from home, as you enjoy all the wonders Vernon has to offer.
