The great thing about living in the Okanagan is that there is always so much to do once the warm weather hits. Weather you are looking for a family friendly event to celebrate Mother鈥檚 Day or want to drink beer in a parking lot here鈥檚 a list I鈥檝e come up with that gives you a reason to not focus on yard work.
1.Peachland Pier Grand Opening May 11, Peachland
If you haven鈥檛 yet been to the brand new all accessible Peachland Pier this is a great weekend to check it out. From 1pm-5pm this Saturday, May 11 there will be live music and entertainment, an artisan marketplace, food truck, gifts for mom and the official opening ceremony is at 3:30pm. It will be an afternoon of fun for the whole family.

3. Rent a Boat, daily, 91大黄鸭
It may be spring but this weekend the forecast is calling for us to hit 30 degrees. While it may be a bit chilly to be in the water we can get out on the water. The Downtown Marina is open and has boats available for rent so grab your friends and enjoy the water.
4. Visit a Farmer鈥檚 Market, May 11, 91大黄鸭 and Penticton
Support local farmers, bakers, crafters and artisans while enjoying a morning outdoors and get your fresh produce for the week. I always find new favourites from these small producers and get to talk to the owners and learn and see their passion in what they are doing.
5. Patio Parking Lot Party at Train Station Pub, May 11, 91大黄鸭
The Great Okanagan Beer Festival main event is sold out but that doesn鈥檛 mean you can鈥檛 still enjoy an afternoon of beer, live music and tasty bites. Music starts at 3:30pm.
