The fifth annual Osoyoos Oyster Festival returns to the South Okanagan for five days this month (April 20 to 24).

The culinary event will allow guests to indulge in delicious West Coast oysters while sipping Canadian wine, craft beer, and spirits.

Many new events have been added to this year’s festival, including an international oyster night, a whisky and oysters soiree, and a brunch that offers a selection of fresh and hot oysters.

Two pairing competitions will also take place during the festival, with expert judges determining which Canadian wines and craft beers pair best with oysters.
