The Christmas season in Kelowna starts early: artisan and craft fairs begin in November, with holiday concerts, markets and winery events running through December. The listings above are filtered for Christmas and holiday events, and fall back to Kelowna's regular events until the season's listings arrive.
Church, school and community craft fairs, plus artisan markets, are the heart of the early season, and several wineries run holiday markets in their tasting rooms and barns. See Kelowna markets.
Choirs, jazz ensembles and touring holiday shows play at the Kelowna Community Theatre, the Rotary Centre for the Arts and nearby theatres such as the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country. See Kelowna concerts.
Big White Ski Resort opens for the winter season, and ski resorts across the valley run holiday programming, including light-up events and holiday weeks.
