PENTICTON

Penticton is located on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan people. Its name, from the Interior Salish word snpintktn, is commonly translated as "a place to stay forever," or more accurately, "a place where people live year-round." It's the kind of place where people come to visit for the holidays - and never want to leave... Nestled between two lakes, Penticton enjoys long, hot summers, dry winters and more than 2,000 hours of sunshine each year. We're located in the southern Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, which is easily accessed by major highways and airports... From tasting wine to building sandcastles, Penticton offers year-round activities for all ages. Whether you want to bike, ski, walk, sip or swim, get the inside scoop from Visit Penticton.
