Okanagan Fest of Ale 2025

On Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12, Okanagan Fest of Ale returns to the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre.

The Okanagan Fest of Ale has been bringing together craft beer lovers and craft brewers to celebrate the almighty ale since 1996! Every April, Penticton is host to one of the largest and longest running annual beer festivals in the Pacific Northwest. This two-day event features great entertainment, fabulous food and the opportunity to sample a diverse array of quality crafted beverages.

Operating as a non-profit society, organizers are committed to support and promote the growing world of quality brewery products, local tourism and local charitable organizations. Since its inception, over $800,000 in net proceeds has been gifted back to qualifying registered charities!
