Falkland is best known in British Columbia for the Falkland Stampede, a rodeo tradition founded in 1919. The small community lies in the Salmon River valley of the North Okanagan, along Highway 97 between Vernon and Kamloops, where cattle ranching remains part of local identity. Each May long weekend, the stampede brings rodeo events, a parade and a gathering that reflects the settlement’s enduring ranching culture. Beyond the arena grounds, open pastureland gives way to wooded hills, placing Falkland firmly within the interior landscape rather than the Okanagan’s lakefront resort towns.
