Kelowna: A Cultural Core in the Okanagan

Kelowna is more than just vineyards and lake views—it’s a cultural hotspot in the Okanagan Valley. With a growing arts scene supported by local galleries, music venues, theatres, and Indigenous cultural centres, Kelowna is an essential destination for art and culture lovers exploring southern BC.

From public murals and outdoor sculptures to winery art installations and seasonal events, Kelowna invites visitors to blend cultural exploration with scenic relaxation.
