Community Information

The community of Summerland stretches along the Okanagan lakeshore and up into the benchlands between Penticton and Peachland. Many of the better fruit and grape varieties grown by local farmers were developed at the Agriculture Canada Research station which has been in operation at Summerland since 1914.

The townsite has a jaunty theme with Old English signage and tudor style architecture. Festive celebrations bring neighbours together for Action Festival the first week in June and Festival of the Lights the last weekend of November.
