Christmas Events Across the Okanagan

The Okanagan's Christmas calendar stretches from Vernon to Osoyoos. The listings above are filtered for Christmas and holiday events across the whole valley, and fall back to regular events until the season's listings arrive.

By town

Vernon pairs holiday concerts with Silver Star's winter programming. Kelowna has the largest selection of craft fairs, concerts and markets. Penticton adds winery holiday markets, and Summerland, Lake Country and Oliver host smaller craft fairs, carol singalongs and winery events.

Typical timing

Craft fairs start in early to mid November, holiday concerts and markets peak through December, and New Year's events follow — see New Year's Eve events.

Winter outdoors

Big White, Silver Star and Apex open for the ski season, and wineries often run holiday tastings. See the Okanagan wine guide and things to do in the Okanagan.
