Kelowna RCMP getting prepared for the upcoming Center of Gravity Beach Festival.

Thousands of people will flock to the downtown for the 3-day event.

Constable Kris Clark says officers will be cracking down on partiers.

"It's going to be a zero tolerance this year for alcohol and drug offences.  We will be putting more out on that later, but it should be a good time though."

Clark adds they will have officers stationed at key locations at the festival and throughout the downtown.
