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 2025 it takes place on May 17th, which is the Saturday of the May Long Weekend. It’s an amazing event and highly recommended, especially for folks who like craft beer!
(TIP: There is also a North Vancouver Brewhalla event in 2025. It takes place at the Shipyards on April 11th. Last year, the day after Brewhalla Fort Langley 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). Whether or not this event will happen again in 2025 is to be confirmed.)

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. A few years ago it changed its name to Brewhalla Fort Langley.
At the event, in addition to lots of craft beer and breweries, 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.
Brewhalla is a series of similar festivals in different cities in the Lower Mainland. In 2025 the first event is on April 11th in North Vancouver. The second happens in Fort Langley on May 17th. In the past there have been other events in places like New Westminster and Chilliwack, but those events are TBC for this year as of January.
