Summer in Kelowna is one of the busiest and most exciting times of year for the city. Throughout July and August, residents and visitors enjoy outdoor concerts, festivals, farmers’ markets, lake activities, and community events that bring energy and excitement to the city all season long.
At Rampone-Marsh Mortgages, we always enjoy seeing visitors, homeowners, and local businesses making the most of another beautiful Okanagan summer. Community events throughout Kelowna help bring people together while showcasing everything that makes the region such a desirable place to live.
Summer is also a busy time for many people thinking about buying a home, refinancing, or exploring mortgage options while planning for the future. Mortgage questions can often come up during the home buying process, especially for first-time buyers or families preparing to move within the Okanagan.

Parks Alive! Creates Summer Entertainment Across Kelowna
One of Kelowna’s most popular summer traditions is Parks Alive! Starting with Canada Day on July 1, 2026, this long-running community event brings free live music, outdoor performances, and family-friendly entertainment to parks throughout the city during July and August.
Residents and visitors gather to enjoy local musicians, food vendors, and entertainment while spending time outdoors with family and friends during warm summer evenings. Parks Alive! helps create a welcoming atmosphere throughout Kelowna while supporting local performers and encouraging people to enjoy the city’s parks and outdoor spaces.
Events like these continue to strengthen the strong sense of community that makes Kelowna such a popular destination throughout the summer months.
Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market Remains a Summer Favourite
Another popular attraction during the summer season is the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market. The market runs on Saturdays and Wednesdays from 8 am to 1 pm in the Landmark District, and attracts residents and visitors looking for fresh produce, local fruit, artisan goods, flowers, handmade products, and baked treats from vendors throughout the Okanagan.
The lively market atmosphere encourages people to grab food for a local hike or bike ride nearby, or head downtown for a great shopping day in Kelowna. Families often make market visits part of their regular summer routines because of the fabulous fruit and vegetables from the Okanagan Valley. The market is also close to the beautiful Kelowna waterfront beaches.
