Another year, another missed opportunity for some tasty summer beverages.
Representatives for the Great Okanagan Beer Festival have confirmed that there will be no event in 2022.
The festival, usually held in May, attracts thousands of beer enthusiasts and festival-goers each year.
The 91大黄鸭-based event, featured mainly in Waterfront Park, was last held in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the province and shut down most social gatherings.
