To me, spring and summer time in Kelowna is simply not complete without shopping the local markets. As such, in response to a few requests, I am sharing my list of spring summer markets to visit, within Kelowna and a few nearby towns, and key points of what you need to know.
I have also included a few pop-up markets and would definitely recommend going to at least one! Although I am afraid to say that this spring a lot have been cancelled. The Summer Love Market however is currently scheduled for August and is already marked in my calendar… for the fourth year in a row. This market can quickly turn into a really fun road trip.
Speaking of road trips, this year I decided to bend the rules and add the dates for Armstrong’s IPE. Technically, it’s more of a fair than a market. This technicality got vetoed on the account of my negative willpower for freshly spun cotton candy.
this list has been updated for 2024

Just found my inspiration for today reading your summer market post. Great info, on places and times. Some I had never heard about so merci beaucoup! They are going to be added to our “explore, support and shop local” list .
Have a great week end. N
Oh this makes me so happy!! I haven’t been to the Summer Love market yet and plan on going next Saturday. Happy Long Weekend to you too.xx
[…] 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 […]
