Alberta Beer Festivals

MAY 1 - 2, 2026 Alberta Beer Festival is the hub that connects breweries, agencies, restaurants, liquor stores and beer enthusiasts in Western Canada. We strive to educate our fellow Albertans on all things beer related, and part of what we do is hold awesome beer festivals like the Calgary International Beerfest. Take part in the Brew Master Seminar, Cooking with Beer Seminar, vote for the People’s Choice awards, celebrate local beer, breweries, distilleries, restaurants, and community in the BMO Centre on Stampede Park. At Calgary International Beerfest, expand your knowledge of beer, find new favourites and have a great time. In addition to the over 160 breweries, distilleries, cideries, meaderies and ready to drink beverages you can sample, you'll also be able to taste delicious food from over 25 fantastic local eateries. Beerfest also features a live music stage showcasing incredible local talent so you'll never miss a beat! Bring friends and meet new ones as you sample local craft and international brews, enjoy delicious food and take in the entertainment. Beer Geek VIP ticket holders get several awesome perks including a VIP lanyard, separate entrance, early admission, their own private VIP Lounge area with private VIP washrooms and one free admission to LMFAB and Cooking with Beer Seminars!
