Newfoundland Craft Beer Festival 2026

The Newfoundland Craft Beer Festival — commonly promoted as the St. John's Craft Beer Festival — returns Saturday, August 29, 2026, from 7:00 PM at the St. John's Farmers' Market on Freshwater Road. Running since 2016, the festival focuses on the promotion of local NL breweries to help grow a sustainable local beer economy while also featuring quality products from further afield. It is a single-evening event rather than a multi-day festival, which distinguishes it from most mainland Canadian beer fests. Participating NL breweries and ticket details are announced via the organizer's official site and Facebook event closer to the date.
