Get ready to roll up your pant legs and unleash your inner Lucy Ricardo—the Grape Stomp is back in Oliver, B.C., promising an afternoon of high-energy harvest fun on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the Festival of the Grape in Oliver Community Park.

This lively, laugh-filled competition invites 30 teams of three to race against the clock—and each other—in a three-minute grape-crushing challenge. The goal? Produce the most juice possible, all while showing off your most creative costumes. Top teams will take home prizes for both their stomping skills and style.

And it’s not just for grown-ups—the free Youth Stomp lets younger participants get in on the squishy action, making this a true family affair.

“There’s something magical about celebrating harvest season in the South Okanagan,” says Jennifer Busmann, executive director of Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country. “The Grape Stomp captures the heart of wine country—vibrant, welcoming and full of joy.”

Adult team registration ($146.16 + tax) includes festival entry, a spot in the stomp heats, and souvenirs. Spots sell out fast—registration closes September 15. Sign up (and grab your Youth Stomp tickets) at oliverosoyoos.com/grape-stomp. —Vita Daily
