Join us for our 6th annual grape stomp event. Festivities begin at 12 pm with the first stomp starting at 1 pm. Competitive stomps and kids stomps, so bring your family and friends! Time trials will determine the most productive stomper, measured by the volume of juice produced.
Stomping fee is $10 per entry, with all proceeds in support of Bluewater Centre for Raptor Rehabilitation. Raptors help keep the grape-eating bird populations in control. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to Bluewater Centre for Raptor Rehabilitation.

Stomping is done on a first come, first stomp basis, so participants don’t need to all arrive at the start. Stomping will continue until participants, or grapes, run out.
