If you want to get out and about this weekend but aren't sure where to start, here is a list of great things we think you should check out on your weekend excursions.
Go Thrifting
Thursday was National Thrift Day, but a number of local thrift stores are carrying the festivities over all week! Why not spend your day treasure hunting and supporting a great cause? There may even be some added bonuses for you. KelownaNow visited the Salvation Army in Rutland to learn more about the ways the community is celebrating this day.

This Saturday night at 7 p.m. the Okanagan Sun will be taking on the Valley Huskers from Chilliwack. Enjoy a summer night under the lights while watching a game of intense football and cheering on our home team at the Apple Bowl.
Visit the best tourist attractions outside of Kelowna
If you’re looking to explore outside of the city, there are a few spots locals would recommend. After taking home medals in this years Best Of Kelowna competition the Enderby Starlight Drive In, Big White and Tickleberry’s in OK Falls have earned the title of best tourist attraction outside of Kelowna, meaning they are more than worth the commute.
Enjoy a cold one
You may or may not have heard but Kelowna officially has the most bars per capita in Western Canada, meaning this weekend is a perfect time to hit up some of the best patios in town. Whether you want to sip on some craft brews at BNA and Tree Brewing, or enjoy some tasty food and refreshing bevvies on Hanna’s patio, there are a number of hotspots to enjoy a cold one with friends this weekend.
