Downtown Glens Falls will raise a glass to winter one more time when the 2026 Glens Falls Brewfest Weekend returns this March. Presented by the Feeder Canal Alliance, this celebration blends regional craft beer, live entertainment, local food, and friendly competition—all while supporting the preservation of one of the area’s most important historic resources.

Unlike many large-scale beer festivals, Glens Falls Brewfest keeps its focus local, community-driven, and mission-minded. One hundred percent of proceeds benefit the Feeder Canal Alliance, which works to preserve, promote, and maintain the historic Feeder Canal.

Attendees do more than sample great beer; they help protect a waterway that shaped the region’s industrial and cultural history.

Brewfest main event at the Queensbury Hotel.

The signature tasting event takes place Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the elegant Queensbury Hotel. Organizers offer two three-hour sessions—one in the afternoon and one in the evening—so guests can choose a time that fits their schedule and enjoy a more relaxed, intimate experience.

During each session, attendees can expect:

Craft beer tastings from regional breweries
Live entertainment
Local vendors
Food trucks
Cornhole and other interactive games

Multiple sessions reduce crowding and create more opportunities to speak directly with brewers about their ingredients, brewing styles, and seasonal releases. For craft beer enthusiasts who appreciate conversation as much as carbonation, that matters.

Brewfest extends beyond the tasting room. From Friday through Sunday, March 20–22, the celebration spills into bars, breweries, and gathering spaces throughout downtown Glens Falls.

Weekend highlights include:

A kick-off beer trivia night at Common Roots Brewing Company
A dart tournament at Mean Max Brew Works
Special brewery tours
A Sunday Jazzy Brew Brunch at the Queensbury Hotel

These satellite events encourage attendees to explore downtown Glens Falls, discover new favorite hangouts, and turn Brewfest into a true winter getaway.
