Raise a glass, because the Charleston Beer Fest returns to Riverfront Park on Saturday, Oct. 26 with a full afternoon of craft brews, live music, tasty bites, and more.

With 60+ participating breweries from around the country, we’re beer-y excited about what’s in store. Think: Beers, ciders, kombuchas, ginger beer, cocktails, food trucks, and craft vendors.

As the primary fundraiser for Palmetto Community Care, all proceeds will help support individuals living with HIV/AIDS in our community.

Your ticket grants you:

  • Festival entry from 1 to 7 p.m.
  • A commemorative beer stein
  • Beer tastings
  • A chance to compete for prizes in the Beer Games

The fun doesn’t stop there — jam out to performers like Dustbowl Revival, Empire Strikes Brass, Kanika Moore and the Browned Eyed Bois, and Certainly So.

    Pro tip: Snag VIP tickets for an even betterexperience (read: early access, a custom beer tasting glass to sample exclusive VIP beers, shade tents, restroom trailers, and more).

    Cheers to Beer Fest
