Originally inhabited by the Salish people, Penticton translates to “a place to
live forever”. Today thousands continue to take this sentiment to heart, making
Penticton one of the fastest growing communities in the Okanagan. The fact that
the city offers dual lakefronts—Lake
Okanagan is found on the city's northend while Lake
Skaha borders its south—doesn't hurt either. A prominent city in sunny southern
Okanagan, Penticton is almost exactly half-way between Kelowna
to the north and Osoyoos to the
south, approximately 65 km (40 mi) in either direction. This convenient location
offers the perfect jump off point to explore the treasures of the Okanagan. While
in town, visit the S.S.
Sicamous, the last operating stern-wheel steamer and the Art
Gallery of the South Okanagan, with an impressive collection of local and
national art. Each August the beach comes alive for Peachfest,
which features live music, two parades and a festive crowd.
