Yes, it does get very busy in the summer, but itβs rather a trade off. Lots of good restaurants, wineries and other facilities that Penticton is otherwise too small to sustain on its own. Everything has its price I guess!
I remember going to the Safeway really early one day to beat the tourist crowd. Thought I was so smart. I got there, and there was a long lineup of locals all with the same idea.
I tend to stay away from the big grocery stores in summer. I go to the smaller ones like IGA as they tend to be less crowded (lots more locals there) and I also go to a butcher and a green grocer (tourists donβt go to those much either). Very little difference in price. How long ago did you live in P?
Absolutely beautiful.

This kind of scene is one of the things I miss about Penticton. If only it didn’t get so busy in the summer.

That’s like asking how old I am. (Sigh). It was in the 70s. Went to the Charlottes from there, and now in Comox.
