It will be sunny skies with a high of 29 C on Saturday when the sold-out Kelowna Beer Festival descends on City Park.
The event runs from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m. and will feature more than 30 local breweries and cideries in addition to food trucks, a retail market, music from DJ Invizible & Meems, and games to keep the good times rolling.
Be sure to bring sunscreen, as it expected to be sunny and hot. A free refillable water station will be available as well as some parking at City Park, although it is likely to fill up early.
Thick as Thieves Entertainment is the group behind the event, and is also responsible for other local events including Denim on the Diamond, AltiTunes and Island Time.
