Fan-Favorite Beer Event In Lancaster, PA
On August 23, 2025, the ninth annual Lancaster Craft Beerfest returns to the vibrant, growing, and creative City of Lancaster. Our goal is to provide craft beer drinkers with an amazing selection of unique beers so they can discover new flavors and revisit old favorites. There will be dozens of options from some of the best breweries within our own local community, the greater eastern region, and all across the United States. Not only will there be craft beer, but guests can also enjoy an array of delicious food and live music during the festival. There will be two different sessions offered this year so guests can choose the best one they’d like to attend.
Who Is Involved?
The Lancaster Craft Beerfest is brought to you by Decades, a company formed by three childhood friends who grew up and reside in Lancaster, PA. Formerly Joycat Events, Decades is a local restaurant, bar, retro arcade, and bowling alley in the City of Lancaster. The team has partnered with The Rotary Club of Lancaster Penn Square for the 2025 Lancaster Craft Beerfest.
The Perfect Location
The fest is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Lancaster in the newly-updated 100 block of North Queen Street featuring Ewell Plaza and Binns Park. We'll have breweries, live music from the stage, a food court, and other vendors all throughout the space. For many residents of Lancaster City, this means the festival will just be a short walk away. For non-city residents and those traveling from further away, there are convenient parking garages and hotels within two blocks of the beerfest for easy and convenient access to the event. The Holiday Inn Lancaster is on the 100 block and the Lancaster Marriott is the next block over. Room availability is limited so it’s encouraged to explore room options soon.
