Great American Beer Festival 2026

Join us October 10-11 at Levitt Pavilion. Tickets on sale June 25! After 40+ years, the Great American Beer Festival® (GABF) is heading outdoors and it's landing right here at Levitt Pavilion Denver. Swing by October 10–11, 2026 for a laid-back, open-air celebration of incredible craft beer, live entertainment, and the kind of good vibes that make a weekend feel like exactly what it was supposed to be.   Picture this: Colorado fall weather, Levitt’s iconic stage as your backdrop, a cold beer in your hand, and breweries from all over the country just waiting for you to wander up and ask, "Okay, what should I try?" This is GABF like you've never experienced it and an afternoon at Levitt like no other.   What's included with your ticket: Unlimited samples from some of America's best craft breweries, a commemorative tasting glass, live entertainment, and a few surprises we're keeping up our sleeve. The lineup is more curated this year with fewer breweries but a better experience, so you'll have time to slow down, chat with the people pouring your beer, and find your new favorites.   Want to take it further? Check out PAIRED® , an elevated food and beer experience featuring award-winning chefs, creative small bites, and expertly matched pours. It's a meal and a beer education in one. (Tickets sold separately.)   Not drinking? You're still invited. Designated Driver tickets include full access to festival entertainment and activations. The basics: Both Saturday and Sunday run 12:00–4:00 PM. Guests must be 21+. Shuttle options from downtown Denver are available when you grab your tickets.   Come find your favorite breweries on the lawn. The beer will be cold, the music will be live, and Colorado’s great outdoors will do the rest.
