It looks like OkToblerfest is here to stay.
Just a day after the first annual food and drink event wrapped up at Wings Vernon, organizers have already set the dates for next year from Oct. 6–9, 2022.
The inaugural celebration ran from Thursday, Oct. 7 to Sunday Oct. 10, honouring German heritage, food, dance, culture, and gemütlichkeit (friendliness) in Vernon, the home of Okanagan Spring Brewery and the Tobler family who founded the craft brewery in 1985.
“Traditions aren’t things frozen in time. They’re meant to grow and change along with the community that celebrates them,” said Sherman Dahl, President and CEO of the Pretium Group, owner of the host restaurant, Wings Vernon.
