Merritt. It’s the Country Music Capital of Canada, where we annually host one of Canada’s largest country music festivals. And we’ve got the handprints and massive murals of your biggest country music singers on our Walk of Stars and Murals Walk to prove it. We’ve also got heritage buildings and quaint country shopping. What’s more, Merritt now has the distinction of becoming home to Canada’s Country Music Hall of Fame. At only three hours from Vancouver and midway between Vancouver and Banff, we’re close enough for a day trip. Merritt offers a bevy of activities for every tour bus group whether the group is passing through on an afternoon or staying overnight. Our tour bus stops are conveniently located and boast easy parking and ready access to city centre amenities and attractions. Downtown Merritt is proud of its unique visitor information centre at the historic Baillie Property. The centre’s friendly volunteers are committed to showing groups the hidden treasures of the Nicola Valley. You’ll enjoy historical walking tours, site visits, and guided activities. The people of Merritt are proud of their city. We greet visitors with a smile when they arrive and do our utmost to see that they take only fond memories home when they leave.
