Support Local in Osoyoos This Season

Whether you’re near or far, supporting local businesses in Osoyoos is easy. Destination Osoyoos has compiled a great list of ways to support local in Osoyoos to help you shop, eat, and drink locally this season. If you don’t live in or around the South Okanagan, you can contact many of our local businesses to order products and services, or purchase a gift card to be used on your next visit. Be sure to check out our list of What’s Open in Osoyoos.

Here are just a few ways that you can support local this season:


1. Buy baked goods

Save yourself the mess that comes with mixing. Osoyoos has some amazing bakeries in town offering sweet treats. Fresh bread, pain au chocolat, macarons, cookies, and cinnamon buns are just a few special sweets that you can find this season.


2. Treat someone (or yourself) to a much needed spa day

Osoyoos is known as a destination for relaxation, so let the stresses of the winter season melt away at one of our local spas or salons. If you live locally, treat yourself or your loved one to some much needed pampering. Many of our local spas also offer gift cards online so that you can plan ahead for future travel.


3. Eat Like a Local

Many of our local restaurants and cafes are offering modified dine-in services in addition to takeout and delivery options. If you don’t live locally, you can order a gift card for a loved one (or yourself!) to use on your next Osoyoos vacation.


4. Shop Main Street
