“We’re thrilled that Barnside Harvest Festival was so well received by our community, so we’re pleased to bring this vibrant music festival experience back to Paterson Park,” Ken Malenstyn, general manager of Barnside Brewing Co., said in a news release.

“Thanks to the tremendous support from the City of Delta, city staff and the many sponsors and community organizations,” Malenstyn added. “We’re excited for the new lineup and look forward to promoting Delta’s agricultural heritage and celebrating the harvest of locally grown food with music, food, fun and, of course, farm-fresh beer.”
