Get Buzzed at DC Beer Fest, Returning to Nationals Park

Check out dozens of breweries, food trucks, and interactive games all in one place!

Venture to Nationals Park this season for the ultimate "brew-ha-ha!" With over 80 breweries, a dozen food trucks, and live entertainment to explore, DC Beer Fest guarantees fun will be flowing in mass quantities. If you've ever wanted to experience DC's ballpark as a massive beer garden, then this is for you!

Enjoy sampling from a wide array of breweries from the DMV and beyond, including DC Brau, Heavy Seas Alehouse, Firestone Walker, and many more. Seasonal beverages will be offered alongside mainstay varieties, too, so you can fill your cup with the flavors of fall. Pumpkin beer, anyone?

If you're feeling hungry, you can grab a bite from some of the District's trendiest eateries. There'll be pizza from DC Slices, ribs from Smoking Kow BBQ, and chicken sandwiches from Roaming Rooster. Be sure to come with an appetite—all of these options will pair wonderfully with what's on tap!

The ballpark will be a sprawling source for entertainment that goes beyond the brews. Cover bands? Check. Live DJs? Check. Dueling pianos? They've got you. Don't forget interactive lawn games made for kicking back with a beer in hand!

Guests can choose between two time-slots when purchasing tickets. General Admission will get you bottomless samples and access to event amenities for $50, while VIP will get you all of that plus a few perks—a drinking glass, hat, and exclusive park access—for $90. Whichever you go for, try to buy them in advance as tickets tend to sell out.
