Many of the big events that happen around the vally get more publicity and advertising, such as big name concerts and the Okanagan wine festivals. These, of course, cost more to attend. But there are other great Okanagan festivals and events - many of which are free or inexpensive - that you may not hear about as readily. You'll find those here as well.
