Celebrate Craft. Support Community.
The California Brewers Festival returns to Discovery Park on September 12, 2026, bringing Northern California’s craft beverage community together for a full day of tasting, food, entertainment, and fun — all in support of local charities.
A longtime Sacramento tradition, the festival brings together outstanding brewers, local vendors, and thousands of attendees for an experience that’s both celebratory and community-driven. Whether you’re a returning guest or discovering the festival for the first time, this is a day built around great beverages and a great cause.
What to Expect
Guests can sample a wide variety of craft beer, along with wine, cider, sake, seltzers, kombucha, and more. The festival experience also includes:
- Food trucks and local vendors
- The Local Wares Marketplace
- Games, activities, and the Fun Zone
- The Beer Relay and California Brewers Cup
- Live art, entertainment, and interactive experiences
Attendance has continued to grow in recent years, with VIP tickets selling out and strong community participation throughout the day. Early ticket purchase is recommende.
A Festival with Impact
Each year, the California Brewers Festival brings people together not only to celebrate craft beverages, but to give back. Since its founding, the festival has raised more than $1.95 million for local charities — making a lasting impact throughout the Sacramento region.
Hosted by the Point West Rotary Club Foundation, proceeds from the festival directly support programs that strengthen the community and serve those in need.
Rooted in Sacramento
The California Brewers Festival was founded in 1994 after a Point West Rotarian attended the Oregon Brewers Festival and envisioned a similar event for Sacramento. What began in Old Sacramento grew through several downtown locations before finding its longtime home at Discovery Park.
Over the years, the festival has evolved alongside the craft beverage industry while remaining grounded in its original purpose — bringing people together and giving back.
