Early bird tickets are now on sale for Okanagan Fest of Ale, set for April 11 and 12 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre (PTCC)
Entering its 28th year, the event is coming back to celebrate around 200 craft beers and ciders from across B.C.
"With the positive response from last year, we will be bringing back the Fest of Ale Hopyard and using the beautiful outdoor space beside the PTCC again," said Michael Stocker, president of the Okanagan Fest of Ale Society.
"It really is the best of both worlds because if the weather isn't perfect, we can enjoy delicious craft beer from inside, ensuring patrons they will be comfortable for the weekend."
Early bird tickets start at $39 for a single day and $55 for two days, plus fees and taxes.
The festival is also accepting vendor applications from breweries and cideries.
