Set along Kingston’s iconic waterfront, this outdoor festival brings together food lovers, craft beverage fans, live music, and local makers for a day full of delicious flavours and entertainment.
New this year: YGK will return to its original location on the South Hill with the best views in the city creating the backdrop for the event. We will also have a second stage with even more entertainment!
Tickets
Tickets for the YGK Craft Beer Fest are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is an all-ages event, so families are welcome! Guests aged 19 and over will need a wristband to drink. Children aged 0-4 can enter for free but still require a ticket. If you’re not drinking, there’s still plenty to enjoy with non-alcoholic beverages, live music, delicious local eats, artisan vendors, and lawn games.
Have your ticket ready on your phone (or printed) for scanning. Buying a ticket on-site? Bring cash or card for payment. Government-issued photo ID is required for entry. Expect a quick security & bag check at the gate.
