The Best Beer Festivals in Kelowna
Kelowna craft beer events — Okanagan brewery events, patio season, and Okanagan Fest of Ale nearby. Updated weekly.
Kelowna anchors the Okanagan craft-beer scene, with a growing cluster of breweries and cideries taking advantage of the valley's long patio season. BNA, Kettle River, Red Bird, Freddy's, Vice & Virtue and others lead the local roster; the nearby Penticton hosts Okanagan Fest of Ale each spring, and Kelowna's own summer calendar leans on brewery-hosted patio events, food-and-beer pairings, and vineyard-brewery crossovers.
