Women are being invited to bare their breasts at a Go Topless rally in Penticton on Sunday.

Participants are being asked to arrive at City Hall prior to 1 p.m.

They're also asked to wear street clothes so no one gets individual attention before everyone removes their tops at the same time, according to spokeswoman Gail Owen.

The event includes a welcome and keynote comment, followed by the group doffing its tops in unison.

From 1:15 to 2 p.m., there will be a friendly, topless walk.

Last on the agenda, from 3 p.m. on, is a potluck dinner at Three Mile Beach.

Minors are asked not to attend, to protect the event from unwanted scrutiny.

Women may go topless or not, and men who take off their tops are expected to wear a bikini to show respect to the women.

The Penticton rally is in conjunction with Go Topless Day, which always falls on the Sunday closest to Women's Equality Day, Aug. 26.

On Sunday, people in cities around the world are invited to stand up for women's right to go topless in public.

More information is available on the Go Topless Penticton Facebook page.
