Charleston Beer Fest is South Carolina's largest celebration of craft beer, held annually at Riverfront Park in North Charleston. The 2026 edition takes place on Saturday, October 24, with VIP gates opening at 1 PM and General Admission at 2 PM, running until 7 PM. The festival features 75+ breweries, live music, food trucks, and entertainment.
General admission tickets (up to $69) include 10 beer sampling tickets and a commemorative mug. VIP tickets ($129-$200) offer early access starting at noon, entry to the exclusive VIP Oasis and Swag Bar, and 20 sampling tickets. Designated driver tickets are also available ($28.99-$39). All guests must be 21+ with valid ID.
All proceeds benefit Palmetto Community Care, which provides vital services to those living with HIV/AIDS in the Lowcountry community. The festival combines great beer with a great cause, making it one of the most meaningful craft beer events in the Southeast.
Charleston Beer Fest was created as a celebration of craft beer with a purpose — all proceeds benefit Palmetto Community Care, a nonprofit providing essential services to people living with HIV/AIDS in the Charleston area. What began as a community fundraiser has grown into South Carolina's largest craft beer celebration.
The festival found its home at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, a scenic waterfront venue that provides ample space for the growing event. The park's location along the Cooper River offers a relaxed, open-air atmosphere that has become synonymous with the festival experience.
Over the years, Charleston Beer Fest has expanded from a modest gathering to a major regional event featuring 75+ breweries. The VIP experience, with its exclusive Oasis and Swag Bar, has added a premium tier that draws dedicated craft beer enthusiasts. Despite its growth, the festival has never lost sight of its charitable mission — every ticket sold directly supports Palmetto Community Care's work in the community.
