About

VCBW Craft Beer & Music Festival is Canada’s biggest celebration of craft beer & craft beer culture. 

Western Canada’s biggest and best craft-only beer fest, the VCBW Festival returns to the PNE Fairgrounds on July 6th, 2024.

The Festival will feature live music with bands, buskers and djs, food trucks, and over 100 breweries and cideries to choose from, with more to be announced. 

The Vancouver Craft Beer Week team acknowledges that the VCBW Festival will be held on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

Attendees, staff, volunteers, and vendors are free to enjoy VCBW events safely and with acceptance. Serving It Right rules apply—attendees must be 19+ years of age and provide two pieces of ID and guests are reminded to drink responsibly and plan a safe ride home.
