West Kelowna residents encouraged to take a self-guided ‘Twinkle Tour’ this year

As you already know by now, this year is unlike any other.

However, people are still trying as hard as possible to have a somewhat normal holiday season, which often includes an event like a Christmas Light Up.

The City of West Kelowna typically holds one each December, but this year residents are being asked to take their own self-guided “Twinkle Tour” around the city.

“West Kelowna’s Light Up will look different this holiday season,” said Kevin Bourchier, recreation supervisor.

“Although the annual event on Brown Road is not possible due to provincial health orders, residents can take in the festive experience through a self-guided Twinkle Tour of City properties.”

An interactive map is available on the City website, which identifies a number of locations where you can see great light displays around West Kelowna.

Those locations include:

  • Brown Road
  • Gellatly Waterfront including CNR Wharf and Powers Creek Bridge
  • Mt. Boucherie Community Centre
  • Boucherie Road Wine Trail and Westlake roundabouts
  • Parks Department Office at Elliott Road
  • Fire Hall 31 on Old Okanagan Highway

Not only can residents enjoy the experience at any time they’d like, they can also submit their own home or business for consideration to be included on the tour map.

The city-wide Twinkle Tour includes a contest where a panel of judges will select a winner on Dec. 20 in each of the following categories:

  • Most festive residential house
  • Most festive business
  • Most festive balcony
  • Most festive miscellaneous
