Here’s a little preview of what makes the Banff Craft Beer Festival an absolute must-do:

THE BANFF CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL – OCTOBER 23 – 25, 2025

Widely considered the most beautiful beer festival in the world, the Banff Craft Beer Festival draws enthusiasts from around the globe who refuse to miss this truly special event. Set at the historic Cave and Basin National Historic Site – the very birthplace of Canada’s National Parks – this castle-like heritage site transforms into an epic event space. Here are just some of the highlights that make this weekend an unforgettable memory for years to come:

• 🍺Beer and So Much More – The number of Alberta breweries and distilleries has tripled in the last 5 years, and we’ve found some pretty interesting ways to fit more of them into the event! You’ll have the exclusive opportunity to sample from over 50+ craft breweries, distilleries, and incredible local eateries across four distinct, stunning areas of this historic landmark. Prepare your palate for an unparalleled journey of flavour!

• 🚌Expanded Shuttle Service – Your Stress-Free Mountain Escape! – We’ve heard people describe the shuttle service that takes them from Banff out to the event as the ‘beginning of an adult field trip to somewhere amazing.’ To accommodate the ever-growing demand, we have added extra shuttles, and we are working closely with the Town of Banff to make traffic flow even more efficiently. This means you can enjoy more of your night at the event, and less time getting there! For the adventurous, take advantage of the new bridge connecting Central Park to the Stables, making for a relatively short, scenic walk to the Cave and Basin from town. Please Note: NO private vehicles will be allowed to park at the Cave & Basin. Attendees can get to the event via frequent, convenient shuttle service or taxis.

• 🎉Beyond the Beverages – A Full-Throttle Festival Experience! – With dynamic DJs, captivating live music, delicious samples from some of Banff’s best eateries and restaurants, plus so much more – there is no shortage of things to do at the festival. Every corner of the Cave and Basin will be buzzing with energy and entertainment. And this year’s event will again proudly support our Charity of Choice – Rocky Mountain Adaptive, helping more people experience the joy of the mountains.
