Thousands flocked to downtown Kelowna on Friday night to watch the city’s Canada Day fireworks show.

It was the city’s first fireworks show since 2019, and, following the display, people that Global News spoke to were glad to be able to gather following two years of pandemic-related lockdowns and event cancellations.

Global News has reached out to the City of Kelowna for comment.

Elsewhere, other Southern Interior communities also held fireworks display on Friday night. Below are photos from the fireworks display in Penticton and elsewhere.
