RETURNING SEP 2024
2024 EVENT DETAILS
HOPSCOTCH TURNS 26 YEARS OLD!
In 1996, at the very first ‘Hopscotch’, a few tables were set up to showcase whisky and beer to a small audience of about 200-people. In 2009, it traveled across the Coquihalla to begin its journey in Kelowna. Thirteen years later in 2024, Hopscotch is now the largest alcoholic showcase within the Okanagan, with over 6000 people attending each year. Hopscotch transforms what is normally the Kelowna Curling Rink into a spectacular Grand Tasting Hall filled with over 150 varieties of Craft and Premium Beers, Spirits from around the globe, the most delicious of Scotch and other Whiskies, as well as wines and different foods. Throughout the night, guests make their way around the tasting hall, enjoying old favourites and learning about new ones.
It is a great idea to arrive hungry as Hopscotch Kelowna always has many delicious food options. Snacks, as well as full-sized dinners are available.Rounding off the event is a coat-check, an on-site liquor store and a smoking area as well!
