7 Celebrations - Reconnecting in Sun Peaks
In the Thompson Okanagan, we are lucky enough to live in an incredible place that is composed of diverse communities and cultures. Here, we believe in sharing what we love about this region with each other and our visitors. We invite you to the free 7 Celebrations series of events to reconnect in the communities throughout the Thompson Okanagan.
Sun Peaks offers deep steeps, long cruisers, glade zones, powder stashes, and corduroy groomers all found within 4,270 acres of skiable terrain. Three mountains surround a European-style, ski-through village filled with quaint shops, cafés, and eateries.
The Secwépemc peoples have been venturing to Swelkwek’welt, known today as Sun Peaks, to hunt and gather, develop traditional medicines, and for spiritual training and ceremonies for over 8,000 years.
Enjoy the fresh powdery snow and ski resort atmosphere while experiencing local artists, artisan markets, live music performances and storytellers who will come together to showcase the culture and history of the North Thompson community.
