3. It’s a sign of Christmas in Penticton when you find yourself following the Christmas lights tour bus through the city. The popular bus tours are usually followed by a caravan of vehicles as motorists let the bus drivers do all the navigating. Makes for a less stressful evening for the driver, who has a little more time to view the many great light displays in Penticton.
The annual Christmas lights tour is so popular, there's often a line up of private vehicles following the bus as it tours the city each year.
