Vernon, British Columbia

Vernon, the oldest city in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, is a spectacular place to be! Plenty of festivals and wonderful weather year-round combine to make this city of 33,494 a perfect spot to live.

The mild winters of the Okanagan Valley make winter in Vernon a treat, and, once the snow falls, outdoor enthusiasts have the tough job of deciding what to do first. But no matter what you do, you have to check out the Vernon Winter Festival – with its cool ice sculptures and hot entertainment, it's one of the largest winter carnivals in Western Canada. If you're looking for a serene winter sleigh ride, head to the O'Keefe Ranch. If you're into skiing or boarding, you'll probably spend a lot of time at Silver Star Mountain, located just 20 minutes northeast of town. And if you're looking for a simple evening out, head downtown and take in the Annual Light Up Festival.

When the snow melts and the trees turn green, the outdoors really open up! With plenty of hiking and biking trails, sun-soaked beaches, swimming, and sports leagues, you'll find lots of reasons to get outside. You can also get inspired by the creative works of the Midsummer's Eve of the Arts; get involved in the sports and adventure displays of the Sunshine Festival; enjoy the thrills of the O'Keefe Ranch Vintage Motorcycle Rally; or take in the murals while strolling downtown. There's always something going on in Vernon!

All this and easy access to both the Okanagan Valley and the Shuswaps Region … Vernon is a fantastic place to call home.
