The Ottawa Beer Fest is an annual event taking place at the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park on May 8 & 9, 2020. It’s our ninth year running, and it gets better every year!
You’ll find dozens of craft beers from more than 40 breweries from Ontario and beyond; specialty and import beers; craft ciders, coolers and spirits; great food from local eateries; and live music. It’s a great time and you should come be part of it!
It’s safe to drag along friends who don’t drink beer too – we have so many options, they’re sure to find something they’ll like. Take a look at our vendors here.
Purchase tickets for $19 (+ tax) online HERE or at the door for $22.50 (+ tax).
