Staunton Craft Beer Festival

Hey neighbors! Mark your calendars because there’s a really special day coming up that you won’t want to miss. Our very own Staunton Craft Beer Festival is heading back to Gypsy Hill Park, and it's truly one of those events that just feels like home, but with really good beer! What makes this festival so special, you ask? Well, it’s more than just a chance to try some fantastic brews (though there will be plenty of those!). It’s about celebrating the incredible talent of our local and regional craft breweries, the folks who pour their passion into every pint. It’s a chance to gather with friends, old and new, under the beautiful Staunton sky, sharing laughs and discovering your next favorite beer. So, what can you expect when you come on down? Picture this: Gypsy Hill Park, buzzing with friendly chatter and the aroma of delicious food wafting through the air. You’ll find a wonderful selection of craft breweries, each eager to share their unique creations. Your $40 ticket includes tastings, so you can sip and savor to your heart's content. And because good beer goes hand-in-hand with good eats, we’ll have a fantastic lineup of local food vendors ready to satisfy any craving. Plus, live music will set the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and fun afternoon. It’s truly a feast for all the senses! And speaking of Gypsy Hill Park, isn't it just the best spot for an event like this? With its sprawling green spaces and that wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect backdrop for a community gathering. There’s usually plenty of parking around the park, but it never hurts to carpool with a buddy or two if you can. The park is generally quite accessible, but if you have specific questions, it's always a good idea to check the event website closer to the date for any updates. A little tip from a local: bring a comfortable folding chair or a blanket if you want to kick back and really soak in the music and the good vibes. And don’t forget your ID to this is a 21+ event for tastings, of course. This isn't just another festival; it’s a wonderful opportunity to support our local businesses, enjoy some great company, and celebrate the vibrant spirit of our Staunton community. So, gather your crew, grab your tickets, and come on out to Gypsy Hill Park on February 26th, 2026, from noon to 6 PM. Let’s make some fantastic memories together at the Staunton Craft Beer Festival!
