Where is Sicamous?

Sicamous is a tiny town by a lake (the ‘Shuswap’ lake) in the Canadian Okanagan (a big lake/valley region near the Rocky Mountains).

More details soon on getting here and staying here — but for now, the relevant airports would be Kelowna (1.5 h drive), Vancouver (5 h drive through wine/lake country), and Calgary (5 h drive through Banff & across the Rockies).

And how do you even pronounce that??

The town is pronounced ’sick-a-moose’.

The lake is pronounced ‘shoe-shwop’.

(It’s indigenous!)

What’s it like there?

In the high season (July-Aug), Sicamous is full of people swimming and boating on the lake with friends and family, waterskiing, tubing, houseboating, drinking beers, listening to country music at full blast, etc.

In the fall it’s quiet and still just as gorgeous (it will hopefully be around 22-25C). We picked September for this reason to invite everyone out!

Accommodation & getting around

Sicamous is a small, beachside tourist town with a handful of motels and a couple hotels; almost everything is close to the venue (walking distance for most, so you can leave your car at the hotel — no need to drink and drive, no need for a designated driver either!); one hotel — the Best Western — is slightly further, but there are taxis in town (call +12508036677 for Sicamous Taxi — no Uber or Lyft)

We have reserved blocks of rooms from Sept 5-8 at:
