The 2nd Annual Okanagan Beard Festival kicks off with the registration and first-round judging event on Monday, January 16th from 6pm until 9pm, at Cannery Brewing Co. (198 Ellis Street, Penticton, BC).

This fun and friendly, 13-week competition & celebration of the bearded lifestyle will include judging in 12 categories:

- Best beard    -   Best styled mustache   
- Longest beard    -   Most original mustache
- Thickest beard    -   Longest mustache 
- Most original beard   -   Best mustache/goatee combination
- Best sculptured beard   -   Best beard/mustache combination
- Best effort    -   People’s choice

In addition to these 12 categories, a new element is being added to this year’s festival – the “Battle of the Barbers”. Competitors will be representing their respective barbers during the entire competition – the barber with the most award-winning clients will earn bragging rights as top barber.
 
There will be 6 rounds of judging, to take place at various breweries and pubs and restaurants in Penticton, including Cannery Brewing Co., Craft Corner Kitchen, Nest & Nectar, Clancy’s Pub, and The Barking Parrot Bar. The winners will be announced and awards presented at our finale event on April 24th.

Registration fee is $25.00 (Limited to 100 registrants).

Partial proceeds from this event will be donated to Penticton’s Discovery House.
