What
is it?

Welcome to ‘Palate’— The Island's newest celebration of art, flavour, and community. Over three unforgettable days, Painters Lodge transforms into a coastal canvas celebrating artistry from 'Bottle to Brush', and local craftsmanship takes centre stage. The festival weekend brings together a gathering of Vancouver Islands best creative and culinary offerings.

From craft beer to world-class wine, live-art installations, an artisan market, culinary expositions, and immersive experiences. Each day unfolds with a dynamic mix of programming, featuring partnerships with the North Island Craft Beer Festival, Island Wineries, and an Art Market brimming with makers, bites, creators, and live activations.
