What Is Winter Craft Beer Fest Toronto?

Winter Craft Beer Fest is an outdoor craft beer festival in Toronto that brings together craft beer, music, and après-ski-inspired winter partying.

Forget hibernating until spring. This is your excuse to get outside, get festive and give February something to talk about.

What's Included With Your Ticket?

Your ticket gets you through the gates and into the action, but here's one important thing to know: Winter Craft Beer Fest operates on a token-based sampling system, and sampling tokens are sold separately from admission.

Your ticket includes:

• Festival admission to Winter Craft Beer Fest.

• A festival mug for your sampling experience.

You'll need to purchase sampling tokens separately to try the craft beers available at the festival, so plan accordingly.

Want the VIP treatment? VIP tickets also include a limited-edition festival toque and early entry at 11 a.m., giving you a head start on the festivities.

What Can You Expect at Winter Craft Beer Fest?

Craft Beer Worth Getting Out of Bed Fo

If you're here for the beer, you're in the right place. Winter Craft Beer Fest brings together participating breweries and a selection of craft beers to explore.

The festival uses a token-based sampling system, meaning you'll purchase tokens and use them to sample beers, ciders, wine and more. It's a great opportunity to discover new breweries, try different styles, and find your next favourite pour.

Grab your festival mug, pick up your tokens and get exploring.

Local Food Trucks to Keep You Fuelled

Beer and good food are a winning combination. Local food trucks will be on-site, serving up food to help keep your festival day going.

Whether you're grabbing a bite between samples or making a proper lunch stop with your crew, you'll have food options right at the festival. Keep an eye on our channels for food truck announcements as the event gets closer.

Fun Sponsors, Good Times

We're bringing some fun sponsors along for the ride, too. Expect more than just beer, with participating sponsors adding to the festival experience.

We'll share more details about who's joining us as we get closer to February, so stay tuned for announcements.

Music, Après-Ski Energy, and a Good Time

The beer is only part of the plan. Expect a party-like festival atmosphere with music and a special guest DJ announcement to come.

We're bringing the après-ski spirit to downtown Toronto, so think winter party energy, a great soundtrack, craft beer, food trucks and a crowd that's ready to have some fun.

The Après-Ski Outfit Contest

Let's talk outfits. Winter Craft Beer Fest is your chance to put those après-ski looks to work.

We're talking retro ski suits, vintage-inspired goggles, bold patterns, colourful puffers, oversized sweaters and all the winter-lodge energy you can bring. We run an outfit contest, so showing up in your everyday winter coat is leaving an opportunity on the table.

Come dressed to impress. Coordinate with your crew, dig through the closet, hit the thrift store and give us your best après-ski look.

Keep an eye on our official channels for contest announcements and details.

What Should You Wear to Winter Craft Beer Fest?

Après-ski is the assignment.

Winter Craft Beer Fest is an outdoor event in February, so you'll want to dress for the weather while bringing your best winter-party style.

Some outfit inspiration:

• Retro ski gear: Colour-blocked jackets, vintage ski suits, and bold patterns.

• Après-ski classics: Chunky knits, fleece pullovers, and oversized sweaters.

• Accessories: Goggles, colourful toques, scarves, and statement sunglasses.

• Coordinated crew outfits: Matching colours, themed looks, and group costumes that commit to the bit.

The goal is to look like you just stepped off the slopes and straight into the party. And with outfit contests in the mix, this is not the day to play it safe.

A few practical tips: wear warm layers, bring gloves, and choose comfortable winter boots. You'll be spending time outdoors and Toronto in February can be seriously cold and snowy.

Need to warm up? Indoor warming areas will be available throughout the event.

Is Winter Craft Beer Fest Dog-Friendly?

Yes, dogs are welcome at Winter Craft Beer Fest Toronto.

If your four-legged friend is joining you, make sure they're comfortable around crowds, music, and winter weather. Keep them leashed and bring anything they need to stay warm and comfortable.
