Pig Out
The event is organized every year by Oliver-Osoyoos Wine Country, and will be held this year from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Covert Farms property in Oliver. The event typically sells out with more than 1,000 people attending annually, so anyone attending is advised to buy their tickets early.
The festival is also good for kids, as younger guests can practice their hula hoop skills atop Covert Farms’ giant bouncy pillow, and keep cool with their unique water feature.
“Pig Out Festival is all about coming together in celebration of a creative culinary theme to kick-off the season,” says Jennifer Busmann, Executive Director of Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country. “Guests can expect lively music, costume contests and an abundance of delicious food and wine.”
All 47 Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country members will be pouring new releases and fan favourites, alongside Hawaiian-themed pork dishes from the region’s most notable culinary teams including Platinum Bench Artisan Bakery, Watermark Beach Resort and Oliver Eats.
Pig Out Festival tickets ($69) are available online and include entertainment, a souvenir wine glass, and lots of great food and wine. Student tickets are $35 (12-18 years), and children under 12 are free.
