OTHER EVENTS | SATELLITE EVENTS
The 22nd Annual Hopscotch Festival is back in an entirely new way! With immense changes being implemented, Canada’s largest celebration of libations, including Scotch and other Whiskies, Craft and Premium Beer, Craft and Premium Spirits, Wine and Food has been given a facelift. It took 22 years but Hopscotch is no longer a “corporate-style” public trade show but rather an experience for the “in” that won’t soon be forgotten. Some of the new changes are:
MORE BOOTHS/MORE PRODUCTS
Last year there was about 80 booths while this year there is over 130! Last year there was less than 300 products and this year there will be over 400! More selection, more great beer, more whisky, more spirits and so many more other additions.
LOWER TICKET PRICES
Ticket prices have been reduced! The idea for 2017 was to make Hopscotch the BEST night out for a affordable price. (Please note that tickets are sold on a sliding scale. As supply decreased, the prices increase. You’re better off to purchase sooner than later!)
CATEGORIZED SECTIONS
Unlike any years prior, Hopscotch will have categorized sections. The BC Craft Pavilion, Beers From Around The World, Whisky Corner, The Rose Garden (wine), Spirits Of The Globe and The Craft Cocktail showcase are some of the different areas within the hall this year. If you want beer, the beer will be in the beer section. Same with the whisky! Each area will be “vibed” differently to really accent the theme of the respective product being showcased.
LOCAL: BC CRAFT BEER PAVILION PRESENTED BY THE BC CRAFT BREWERS GUILD
New for the very first time in Hopscotch Festival history, we will showcase all of the amazing BC Craft beers in the same pavilion. Sponsored by the BC Craft Brewers Guild, LOCAL will be a showcase of the many amazing breweries producing delicious craft beer in BC. This will offer an opportunity for guests to really see (AND TASTE) the magic that is BC Craft.
