About BeerFest Days
Edmonton's all-ages celebration of beer, beverages, food, hospitality, live entertainment, performing arts, family activities, community and culture—bringing Edmonton residents and visitors together in Alberta's capital.
Our purpose
A festival shaped by the people who participate
Founded in Edmonton by Sean Farmer, the first official ticketed BeerFest was held in 2006. BeerFest Days continues that Edmonton tradition by providing a shared platform for products, performances, ideas and experiences— helping audiences explore, supporting participants and strengthening Edmonton's hospitality, arts, industry, community and culture.

BeerFest Days creates the registration, information, promotion and festival infrastructure that brings participants, industry professionals and attendees together. Participation is open wherever reasonably possible, subject to available space, licensing, insurance, safety requirements and applicable laws.
