Meeting people in Penticton, answered

How do I meet people in Penticton?

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Karaoke Night at Barley Mill Brew Pub, Trivia Thursday at the Barley Mill and Downtown Halloween: Triple Feature.

Can I go on my own?

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.

I've just moved to Penticton. Where do I start?

Choose "Staying a while" above: the weekly nights come first, because going back is how strangers become friends. New to Penticton plans your first month, one week at a time.
