On Saturday, the Peach Festival Peter Bros. Grand Parade boasts to being one of the largest parades in British Columbia and should not be missed, with marching bands, breathtaking floats, and lively participants from many communities throughout BC, Alberta, Washington State & beyond. Come and join the thousands of enthusiastic spectators who line Penticton's Main Street and Lakeshore Drive to absorb the sights and sounds of this fabulous Parade.

Sunday features Kiddies Day in Okanagan Lake Park. To start Kiddies Day, witness the enthusiasm of the children in their own Kiddies Parade, starting at 10 am, down Main Street, and then return back to Okanagan Lake Park.  At 11 am kids can settle in at the main stage and see a great show by international childrens entertainers and a full afternoon of kid's themed entertainment, including but not limited to - and face painters, stilt walkers, balloon artists!  *****Rumour is - someone real good may appear also! 

After Kiddies Day in the park, sit back, relax and get ready to enjoy the festival finale including the official closing ceremony along with more awesome entertainment to bring to a close another successful and fun-filled festival...
