The unofficial kick-off to the Okanagan’s annual season of signature events and stepping out for a day of savouring local sips is here—the spring (Easter) long weekend.

With three or four days to enjoy, there is plenty to do. However, a bit of planning might be helpful. On top of a number of events, advancing polls for the upcoming federal election will be 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. April 18 to 21 and some familiar facilities in your area may be in use by Elections Canada.

The weekend also invites you to explore Easter brunches, such as:

• Easter brunch buffet (or Easter dinner) at the Gulfstream at the Four Points Sheraton in Kelowna

• An Easter brunch buffet at the RANGE restaurant, bar patio at Predator Ridge Resort near Vernon

• A two-course brunch........
