APRIL 3, 2027
AREA15 - West Lot | LAS VEGAS, NV
Great Vegas is the premier annual food and beverage festival celebrating all of the best craft beverages, culinary artists, and more in Las Vegas.
The Great Vegas Festival of Beer returns on April 3, 2027, and this year we're taking over the west lot at AREA15. We've got plenty to share between now and then—breweries, chefs, tickets, entertainment, and a few surprises—but for now, mark your calendar. We'll see you soon.
THIS IS THE BIG ONE.
Beer in the desert. Turns out it's a pretty great idea.
The Great Vegas Festival of Beer is taking over AREA15 in 2027 with 50+ breweries, great food, live entertainment, and a few thousand people who all had the same excellent idea for how to spend an afternoon.
Beer will always be the reason we're here. But if your fridge is stocked with cider instead of IPA, or you're more likely to reach for a hard seltzer, canned cocktail, spirit, mead, wine, cider we've got you covered. This is the perfect excuse to try something new... and then immediately tell your friends they have to try it too.
Hungry? Good. Local food carts will be serving up everything from festival favorites to dishes you probably weren't expecting to find at a beer festival. And if you spring for VIP, you'll get access to the VIP Lounge, where some of Las Vegas' best chefs are putting together bites worth showing up early for.
Come with your beer nerd friends. Come with the person who "doesn't really like beer." Come because it's Saturday and sitting at home seemed like a waste. However you get here, you're probably going to leave planning your trip back next year.
More than just a good time
Good beer deserves good people behind it. That's why 2% of every ticket sold goes directly to support the Nevada Craft Brewers Association, helping strengthen and grow the state's independent brewing community.
The Nevada Craft Brewers Association works to promote craft beer culture across the Silver State, support local breweries and brewpubs, advocate for modern beer laws, and foster collaboration among Nevada's brewing community. So every ticket you buy helps support the people who keep Nevada beer great—both at the festival and all year long. Cheers to that, right??
