Brewhalla Fort Langley

Taking place in May each year, Brewhalla Fort Langley is a terrific craft beer and music festival that’s very popular and lots of fun. It’s an awesome event!

The festival features over 30 local craft breweries as well as cideries, wineries and food vendors in Fort Langley. In 2024 it took place on May 18th, which was the Saturday of the May Day Long Weekend. It’s an amazing event and highly recommended, especially for folks who like craft beer! (TIP: The very next day, on May 19th, there was Spirits in the Park which is a similar event, but with a focus on craft spirits (like gin, vodka and whiskey) instead of beer (although there is beer at that event too).

NOTE: Two other related events in 2024 are Brewhalla New Westminster on August 10th and Brewhalla Chilliwack on October 5th.
