  • 10 p.m. fireworks above Okanagan Lake Park, weather permitting
The canonical event record describes Canada Day in Penticton, British Columbia, on July 1, 2026. The primary source says the city’s celebration includes a family-friendly afternoon program inside Gyro Park, hosted in partnership with the City of Penticton.

Public activities listed for the Penticton event include face painting, a bouncy castle, a goat petting area, a reptile zoo, live entertainment, vendors and free cupcakes while supplies last after dignitary speeches. The celebration is scheduled to end with fireworks at 10 p.m. above Okanagan Lake Park, weather permitting.

A second linked source describes a separate Canada Day fireworks celebration along Kelowna’s waterfront, also on Okanagan Lake. That evidence confirms similar Canada Day activity in the region but appears to refer to a different municipal celebration, so the main summary uses the Penticton source for event-specific facts.
