The Brewhalla Beer and Music Festival features craft beer, food and live music at beer festivals in Fort Langley and North Vancouver.
Brewhalla is the brand for the series. In 2025 Brewhalla North Vancouver and Brewhalla Fort Langley are both in the spring.
In years past there have been Brewhalla events in a number of other cities, including in New Westminster, Chilliwack and Cloverdale. These other beer festivals likely won’t happen this year, although exact details are to be confirmed.

The Brewhalla Beer & Music Series of Festivals
Brewhalla is a relatively new addition to the summer events scene in the Lower Mainland. In 2025 there are two festivals. The first happens in North Vancouver and the second is in Fort Langley. There were five Brewhalla events last year.
Brewhalla is for people ages 19+. This is because these events are beer festivals. Around 20 to 30 different craft breweries usually take part at each festival.
In addition to all the beer stations, there are food vendors and multiple live music performances to enjoy as you eat and drink. Exact details for each event vary, but generally you can expect there to be raffles or giveaways as well as activities like cornhole (i.e. bean bag throwing) and other lawn games to play.
Brewhalla Craft Beer Festivals
In 2025, there are events in North Vancouver and Fort Langley. See below for details about this year’s events as well as ones that have happened in the past.
Brewhalla North Vancouver
The first stop of the Brewhalla tour in 2025 is in North Vancouver on Friday, April 11th, from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The event takes place at the Shipyards. One of the most popular places for events on the North Shore, the venue is at 125 Victory Ship Way. It’s about a five-minute walk from the SeaBus terminal near the bottom of Lonsdale Avenue.
General admission tickets are on sale for around $50 each this year (or $39 for early bird admission). There are two or three dozen different breweries featured at the event, plus a variety of food trucks. As of late January, the musical acts for the 2025 event have not yet been announced.

The festival in Fort Langley is the only one that happened in years before 2022. In the past it was known as the Fort Langley Beer Festival. Now it’s “Brewhalla Fort Langley.” It’s pretty much the same as it was before, just with a different name and at a slightly different venue. In the past it happened outside the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Since 2022 it’s happened at Fort Langley Park (which is about a kilometre west of the fort).

As of mid-July last year, tickets were available online for about $45 each (plus taxes and fees). VIP admission cost about $75 per person and included express entry, four extra drink tokens and early access.
Similar the other Brewhalla events, the New Westminster stop featured around two dozen breweries and around half a dozen food trucks. There were also games like cornhole, giant Connect 4 and giant Jenga, as well as a “best dressed contest”.

The Cloverdale event (in years when it did happen) featured breweries, a number of food options and live music. There were also fun games to enjoy.

Brewhalla Port Moody
Note: This event hasn’t happened since 2022
In 2022 the Port Moody Brewhalla event was the only one of the four festivals that took place over two days. It happened on the Friday and Saturday of August 5th and 6th, 2022. The event’s hours of operation were from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm on the Friday and from noon until 5:00 pm on the Saturday. The event took place at Inlet Field Park at 3024 Murray Street which is just a few blocks from Rocky Point Park.
Before it got postponed, the 2023 Port Moody event was going to happen on just one day, Saturday, August 12th. Over 20 breweries took part in the event in 2022 with more than six food options as well. Tickets started at a little under $50.
Inlet Field Park is just down the street from what’s known as “Brewer’s Row” near Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park. This means that if this event isn’t enough for you, there are plenty more breweries not too far away!
The musical acts who performed at this event in 2022 were the following:
- Jobe
- Brother Luck
- Hyaenas
- Aza Nabuko
- Shady & Con
- Mikey Jose
- Sam Chimes

To give you an idea of what to expect at a Brewhalla event, check out the videos below. The first one shows scenes of the festival in Port Moody in 2022. The second one is of the event in North Vancouver later in the same year.
Brewhalla North Port Moody Video
As you’ll see in the following video, there were lots of beer vendors at the Port Moody event, and the number of attendees was very reasonable. When we went you didn’t have to line up for a long time to get your samples. There was also live music to enjoy and food trucks to buy all kinds of tasty treats from. The weather on the day was also perfect for beer drinking!
Brewhalla North Vancouver Video
The same as the event in Port Moody, Brewhalla North Vancouver was also awesome. It took place at the Shipyards in October. Over half the event was outside, but in a large, covered area. Not shown in the video were vendors which were also set up indoors in the Pipe Shop.
The band featured in this video is Trilojay.
