LANCASTER, PA - The Lancaster Craft Beerfest is on Saturday, August 23 2025 featuring more than 35 breweries, delicious food vendors, live music, and more! After returning in 2024 for the first time since 2019, the Lancaster Craft Beerfest is once again taking place at Ewell Plaza and Binn’s Park this summer.

Guests can choose from a Noon-3pm or 4pm-7pm session. Each session will have live music, breweries, and delicious food vendors. There are also special designated driver tickets available. The event is 21+, nobody under the age of 21 can attend.

There are more than 35 local and regional breweries, along with a few non-beer options, participating in this event. The full list can be found here.
