Brewhalla Fort Langley Beer & Food Festival

The Fort Langley Beer & Food Festival began in 2017. It’s a local event which focuses on local craft beer, wine and cider. There is also live music, entertainment and lots of food options. Visitors to the beer festival must be 19+ with two pieces of valid government-issued ID.

The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic and returned in a smaller format in the fall of 2021. The 2022 festival was on May 21st, in the middle of the Victoria Day Long Weekend, as part of the new Brewhalla Beer & Music Festival series.

Brewhalla is a collection of similar festivals in four different cities in the Lower Mainland. In 2024 the first event is in North Vancouver. The second happens in Fort Langley on May 18th. The other two events take place in New Westminster and Chilliwack.
