LGBTQ+
Osoyoos has always been known for its warm weather and wonderful lake, but as this resort town expands to a year-round destination, it has so much more in store! There are always events and things to do for 12 months of the year in this vibrant and beautiful town.
The LGBTQ+ community can find loads of activities and events to enjoy including hiking, biking, boating, skiing, golf, culinary experiences and of course, wine-tasting at one of the 60+ wineries within a 20-minute drive.
Enjoy a day in the sun on one of Osoyoos’ beautiful beaches, explore the colourful murals that decorate the walls of local businesses, take in one of the amazing live outdoor concerts, and shop the local artisanal goods at the Osoyoos Farmers’ Market.
One of the best ways to experience the LGBTQ+ culture of Osoyoos is to visit during our Pride Festival or one of the marquee calendar events. In late September Osoyoos welcomes all visitors to partake in its pride parade and a day full of performances! It is a fun and safe way to celebrate the diverse and accepting community of Osoyoos.
