Vermont’s headline beer weekend returns to the Burlington waterfront for the 33rd annual Vermont Brewers Festival.
Held at Waterfront Park on 17–18 July 2026, the festival brings together breweries from across the state for a focused tasting experience in one of New England’s most scenic settings. Expect a session-based format across Friday evening and Saturday, with food and festival atmosphere centred on Lake Champlain. With the event hosted by the Vermont Brewers Association, it’s a straightforward way to explore the breadth of Vermont brewing — from crisp lagers to hop-forward ales and darker seasonal styles — while meeting the people behind the beer. Plan ahead for session timings and ticket availability, and make the most of Burlington’s walkable downtown, waterfront paths, and easy access to local bars and bottle shops for post-festival discoveries.
