November brings the preparation of holiday events in Kelowna! Christmas markets start in November, which makes it the perfect time to start holiday shopping. 

Holiday events in Kelowna often begin with the Christmas markets. Showcasing local vendors and makers, there are so many great markets to attend this November to jumpstart your shopping. Along with markets, there are lots of family-friendly activities and time to spend meaningful time with those closest to you. There are many holiday events in Kelowna during the holiday season that are in support of good causes, such as local charities and the BC Children’s Hospital.

• Craft Culture Holiday Magic Market

With over 60 vendors, the Craft Culture Holiday Magic Market at the Rotary Centre for Arts on November 12 and 13th is a must for holiday events in Kelowna. The market will be full of handmade local items, which make gift-giving or even a gift for yourself so special. The market’s admission is by donation only with partial proceeds going to the local charity, Mamas for Mamas; poverty relief for mothers and caregivers in crisis.
