Summerland – One of the Best Places in BC
What makes Summerland one of the best places in BC to visit and live? Perhaps it’s our climate and the warmth of our community that makes people want to call Summerland home? Or maybe it’s our rich cultural heritage, numerous wineries and creative artistic community? It would be hard to pick any one thing. What we do know, is that we have incredible pride in our town and enjoy nothing better than sharing our Okanagan lifestyle with others.
There are so many simple pleasures here – an early morning hike to the top of Giant’s Head Mountain, your first bite into a crisp apple or juicy peach that was grown in an orchard you pass every day, or the contentment of sitting at a pavement café in the sun and people-watching. The list goes on, but you should discover these joys for yourself. After all, it’s Summerland, you have the time.
Trailblazers – When you journey through the spectacular Okanagan landscape, you are following in the six-thousand year old footsteps of the Okanagan peoples. Filled with vintners and entrepreneurs who honour the spirit of Summerland, our town has become a place where tradition meets innovation in perfect harmony. Our popular attractions, exquisite Bottleneck Drive wineries, colorful ActionFest, Festival of Lights and challenging sporting events have made Summerland one of the best places in BC to visit and live.
