Glassic Calendar

The OACBS is pleased to announce that we have a new date and venue for our 2017 boat show.
This year the show will be held the weekend of June 16-18 in Penticton, BC. The result is that our show is now located only 45 minutes north of the American border which puts us about 3 hours closer for our friends from the south. The festivities will be held in the Marina at the Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre at the southern shore of beautiful Okanagan Lake. We would love to see new faces as well as some of the folks who haven`t been to our show for a few years join us.

Feel free to pass this registration package on to anyone you think may be interested in joining us.

Lodging Recommendations – We have a great value rate at the Lakeside Resort; our room block expires on MAY 19 and this hotel is otherwise sold out. Tell them you are booking for the antique boat show to get the preferred rate but please please book ASAP. Jim has arranged a block of rooms at the beautiful Penticton Lakeside Resort at discounted prices for our group!  These rooms are only being held until Next Friday May 19th so book as soon as possible!  The room prices are $145/$155/$165, and this spot is right at the show site.  If you want this deal you have to call the hotel at 866-857-5798 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Penticton is a popular spot in the summer, and hotels in the area often sell out fairly early.
There are numerous other motels and hotels within walking distance of the docks but these will sell out fast as well as there are many events going on in Penticton at that time and none of them provide you a room with a view of your boat!
We look forward to a successful show and a great time on Okanagan Lake.
