Tourism Vernon

Here in Vernon we prioritize happiness, relaxation, and lifestyle, and we enjoy a casual vibe. We welcome you to come and embrace that Okanagan way of life. Experience the serenity of paddling out on perfectly still, clear-blue lake waters, answer the beckoning call of adventure at that next trailhead, and taste the true meaning of farm-to-table as you dine amongst the orchards that grew your meal.

You may come to Vernon for our renowned great outdoors but find yourself compelled to stay longer to soak up the unique history and culture that has formed this welcoming community.

Take a stroll through the historic streets of Vernon and find yourself immersed in a vibrant arts and culture scene. The galleries, theatres, historic tours, museums, and nature centres inspire the mind and body to wander.

Hear stories about Vernon’s rich indigenous culture and long history of land stewardship from the syilx/Okanagan people, explore historic houses that have been beautifully restored, and listen to wide variety of live music at indoor and outdoor venues year round.
