Beer lovers will be excited to hear about a brand new event that will be held in Kelowna next month.
The first ever Kelowna Beer Week will be held throughout the Central Okanagan in early October.
While the official dates of the festivities are Oct. 1-8, there are events taking place as early as Sept. 24.
Kelowna Beer Week is a creation of the Central Okanagan Brewers Association (COBRA), which promises that more details will be released as the event draws closer.
But from first look, the week of beer-related celebrations and festivities will focus on a certain brewery or neighborhood each day.
Given the fact that it’s all going down in early October, it’s no surprise that many of those festivities will center around Oktoberfest.
