Spring Things to Do in Kelowna (2025 Guide)

Spring is one of the most beautiful times to visit Kelowna. Orchards begin to bloom, wineries reopen their patios, temperatures warm up, and hiking trails start to clear of snow at lower elevations. It is also a quieter tourism season compared with summer, making it ideal for sightseeing and wine touring.

This guide highlights the best spring activities in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, and surrounding areas in 2025. Seasonal openings, trail conditions, blossom timing, and event schedules may vary from year to year. Always check official sources when planning your visit.

If you are visiting without a vehicle or prefer not to drive, WestCabs provides transportation throughout the Central Okanagan.
