The San Antonio Beer Festival is one of South Texas's largest beer events, celebrating its 21st anniversary in 2026. Held at Civic Park at Hemisfair in downtown San Antonio, the festival features hundreds of premium, craft, and near beers from breweries around the world. VIP ticket holders enter at noon, GA Plus at 1 PM, and General Admission at 2 PM, with last call at 6 PM.
Each ticket includes a tasting cup with 12 two-ounce samples. Additional sampling cards (12 samples) can be purchased for $12. Texas law restricts tastings to 24 ounces per person at one time. The event features live music, multiple DJ stages, local food and retail vendors, artists, interactive activations, and games. The festival is dog-friendly and benefits the San Antonio Food Bank.
Founded in 2005, the San Antonio Beer Festival has grown from a modest beer gathering into one of the largest and most anticipated beer events in South Texas. The festival relocated to Civic Park at Hemisfair — San Antonio's premier downtown green space — giving the event a stunning setting with the city skyline as backdrop.
Over two decades, the festival has championed both national and Texas craft breweries while maintaining strong ties to the local community. A portion of proceeds benefits the San Antonio Food Bank, and the event has become known for its festive atmosphere combining beer culture with live music, DJ stages, and interactive experiences. The 2026 edition marks the festival's 21st year.
