Okanagan restaurants looking to draw crowds with annual event – Jan 16, 2019

The 14th annual Dine Around Thompson Okanagan event was launched on Tuesday night in Kelowna.

There are 50 restaurants between Osoyoos and Kamloops offering special menus until Feb. 3.

Participating restaurants will offer a three-course-menu for $15, $25, $35, or $45 with suggested pairings of B.C. VQA wine, craft beer or spirits.

From past experience, organizers are expecting more than 8,000 locals to take in the event, which is held during the slowest part of the year for restaurants in the region.

“This festival is great for restaurants as we help promote their businesses during what has been traditionally a slow time of year,” Ian Tostenson, president/CEO of the BC Restaurant and Foodservices Association said. “Consumers also appreciate it as they have the opportunity to sip, savour and save with these delicious three course menus for such incredible prices.”
