Planning a Fun Filled Holiday in Vernon BC!

Whether you are in Vernon for Christmas Holidays or live here, the Holidays can be a great family adventure. Shopping or wandering in the downtown core with friends and family admiring the brilliant displays and festive lights can be lots of fun. Santa will be around to so keep your eyes peeled.  Keep in mind that parking in downtown Vernon is free every Saturday in December.

 If that is not fast paced enough you might want to burn off some energy at the Vernon Recreation Centre swimming or soaking in the hot tub. Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre is open for the season and the Silver Star Mountain has many fun filled days of family friendly events planned.  The Vernon Towne Theatre and the Galexy Cinema both have a great line up of movies for the entire holiday season. Attending an event at the Caravan Farm Theatre should definitely be included in your holiday plans. With "Old Nick" the story of a grumpy old hermit that saves Christmas your sure to enjoy yourself . Powerhouse Theatre is hosting  Glee’s “Across the Universe” a Beatles inspired performance  If you need more ideas Tourism Vernon is loaded with them so keep your eyes on our events listing “What’s Happening” at www.tourismvernon.com throughout the holiday season.
