Beer Season Begins
Spring is Here: Okanagan Fest of Ale!
30/03/2009
The weather is warming up, the snow is almost gone, but more importantly the true sign of spring is almost here: Okanagan Fest of Ale in Penticton. Held this year on Friday, April 3-Saturday, April 4, this festival has been running each spring since 1995 and is always a super showcase of some of the finest ales in these parts (and beyond) - and a heck of a good opportunity to celebrate the thaw and get warmed up for the summer beer season.
Those planning to attend should be aware that there are some logistical changes this year. One of the grievances about last year in particular was the difficulty in navigating the massive crowds crammed into the hall. Organizers have heard the complaints, and have made the event a little more beer friendly by a) requiring people to purchase ticket is advance and b) limiting the number of tickets available to slightly less than previous years.
So get your tickets while you can and enjoy this excellent event.
