A huge outdoor wine event is returning to the South Okanagan this weekend.

The Festival of the Grape is taking place on Sunday, Oct. 2, in Oliver.

The annual event attracts an estimated 3,500 attendees who come to taste the various wines that are on display, enjoy the music played on the grandstand and either compete in or watch competitors in the grape stomp.

In addition to the wine tasting, kids zone and grape stomping, local artisans also display their crafts in the art gallery.

A highlight this year will be music performed by Gary Comeau and the Voodoo Allstars, described as Louisiana inspired roots and blues.

The event will take place, from 12 to 5 p.m. at the Oliver Community Centre.
