Edmonton’s Beerfest is the longest running beer themed festival, in the city. Making it’s debut in 2006, Beerfest was also the first beer festival to hit the Alberta market. There were years of micro events, held all over the province, to cultivate awareness and develop the regional market. Events were held along the way in various smaller venues and communities such as UofA Campus, Sherwood Park, Red Deer, Lethbridge, etc. The past 19 years of tireless and persistent dedication has allowed Edmonton’s Beerfest to evolve into one of Edmonton’s most vibrant festivals of the year!
