About this event
The Great American Beer Festival is the largest craft-beer festival in the United States, and in 2026 it makes history by moving outdoors for the first time to Levitt Pavilion at Ruby Hill Park. Attendees can sample hundreds of beers from breweries across the country while celebrating the winners of the prestigious GABF competition. The new outdoor format brings a fresh, festival-style feel with live music, food, and open-air tasting. This is a ticketed, 21+ event, and sessions typically sell out, so buying in advance is essential. Bring a valid ID and plan for transit or rideshare, since parking near the venue is limited and drinking is central to the experience.
