Penticton is a four-season destination. Bordered by two pristine lakes and cradled within treed mountain slopes and dramatic clay cliffs, Penticton's natural beauty is breathtaking with so many recreational opportunities to enjoy such as skiing, water sports, birdwatching, hiking and golf. The sunny, semi-arid desert climate produces long hot summers and mild winters; perfect to support superb agriculture and wine industries. With plenty of attractions, like wine touring and tasting, historical sites, nature tours, and impressive arts and cultural events, Penticton also keeps active by playing host to several festivals all year round like The Peach Festival, The Okanagan Wine Festival, Ironman Canada and the PentasticJazz Festival to name a few. Of course, there’s always good old fashioned relaxation too. Come and explore Penticton, "a place to stay forever."
