Must-Visit Okanagan Markets for Spring and Summer

To me, neither spring nor summer in Kelowna is official without shopping at the local markets. As such, in response to many requests, I am sharing my list of spring and summer markets to visit, within Kelowna and a few nearby towns. 

There weren’t as many pop-up markets this year, but I was at least able to include my favourite one of the season! The Summer Love Market has become one of my favourite summer traditions and is already marked in my August calendar. This market can quickly turn into a fun little road trip.

Speaking of road trips, this year I am going to continue bending the rules by keeping the dates for Armstrong’s IPE. Because it’s a fair, it’s technically not a market. Last year, this technicality got vetoed as per my major craving for freshly spun cotton candy. Last August, at the last minute, my friend and I ended up taking my nieces to the IPE. The girls had SO much fun!

  3. […] of my favourite things to do is grab an ice cream cone and walking along the lake downtown. Like a trip to the market, it is pretty much spring and summer time […]
