St. Augustine Brewers' Fest 2026

The annual St. Augustine Brewers' Fest kicks off at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the Fountain of Youth. Proceeds from this event go to several area non-profit organizations.

The Annual Brewers' Fest

More than 20 breweries from around the state and country join St. Augustine's local breweries, including Dog Rose Brewing Company, Bog Brewing Company, and Old Coast Ales, for an afternoon of fun for craft beer enthusiasts.

Festival attendees receive a tasting cup to use as they visit tents stationed around the Fountain of Youth, where unlimited beer samples are available. Bring a reusable water bottle for the water-filling station to stay hydrated throughout the event. Food trucks from Northeast Florida offer a variety of cuisine to enjoy.

Entertainment at the Brewers' Fest includes live music and children's activities. As a community event, family-friendly activities include face painting and plenty of space for supervised kids to run around. Children are admitted for free with a ticketed adult. 

Tickets for this popular event go on sale each year on March 1, and they usually sell out. Go here for more information and tickets.
