Weekend need to KNow!: Nov. 9 to 11, 2018

Each weekend we'll compile a list of five or more things you need to know about. Whether it's community events, treats you have to try, killer sales or where to find some dance-worthy live music, we've got you covered on activities you need to KNow to make the most of your weekend.

5th Annual Winter Fair

Whether we like it or not, Winter is on its way! Rather than dread it, embrace it this Friday at the Westbank Lions Hall for the 5th Annual Winter Craft Fair.

The event will boast everything from handcrafted pottery and jewelry to paintings and more, offering something for every art lover to enjoy.

Kelowna Farmers’ & Crafters’ Market

Now that it is a bit chillier, our beloved farmers market has moved indoors. This Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. will mark the first indoor market of the season at the Parkinson Recreation Centre.

With returning vendors and a few new ones, the market will still be a one-stop shop for all things local, only you won’t have to face the elements to get your weekly grocery haul.

Family Skate Day

If you’re looking for some family fun this weekend, head down to the CNC this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to participate in their Family Skate Day.
