Kelowna, Arts, Culture & History Tours
Wow - it just doesn't get much better than this. Last week I was so excited about the return of Discover the District with Dickens - the outdoor adaptation of Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". Now I find out that I can purchase the
Kelowna ArtsCard and receive great discounts on all kinds of performances for the next year! For only $20.00, the ArtsCard saves me up to 20% when I buy my tickets for Suessical the Musical or A Cowboy Christmas and you already know how excited I am to see Dickens again this year! The card is valid for an entire year so who knows what great events I'll be able to see during the next twelve months! As well, I can purchase the card at a variety of venues including London Drugs or even right downtown Kelowna at the
Rotary Centre for the Arts or the
Visitor Info Centre. You know moving to Kelowna almost three years ago, my husband and I were a little concerned we were leaving behind the bright lights of Vancouver for the fields of "small townville". However, I have to say we have been pleasantly surprised how urban Kelowna truly is and impressed by the availability of great events and performances. (And there is nothing like getting tickets for these great events at a discount!) If you're coming to town over the next year and would like to take in some entertainment - be sure to consider the Kelowna ArtsCard. It's definitely a great deal.

I am so excited that
Discover the District with Dickens is back this year in Kelowna. Everyone knows the story of Mr. Scooge and Tiny Tim, but to watch it live under the winter sky while bundled up and sipping hot apple cider - it just doesn't get any more festive. The play moves throughout Kelowna's Cultural District which is transformed into Victorian England, complete with traditional carolers and lampposts.

It was a clear starry night and we bundled up and followed the actors around to the five venues throughout the District. The cast had us really engaged in the story, laughing and joking along with them. We enjoyed it so much that this year we are planning to take my parents to see the December 16th show and experience this Kelowna holiday favorite. If you happen to be in Kelowna over the holidays, I definitely recommend that you Discover the District the Dickens!
