It's Stockton's annual brew-themed festival tradition, filled with brews, bites, and beats!

Fun Games

When you get a big group together enjoying some tasty alcoholic beverages, they're bound to want to play some games—and Stockton Brew Fest is no exception! Scattered throughout the center of the Weber Point Events Center are giant versions of recreational favorites like Jenga, Connect Four, Beer Pong, Cornhole, and more. Show off your skills (or lack thereof) with your crew!

Bonus: Brew Fest attendees will have the opportunity to win a two-some for the upcoming Sport City Golf Tourney, which is being put on by the Stockton Sports Foundation. The pay-to-putt competition will have a tournament structure that will provide the individual with the most made putts in the final round the opportunity to play in this year's inaugural event at The Reserve at Spanos Park on Friday, October 14, 2022.

Local Vendors

Whether you're looking for new authentic threads, eye-catching decor, or even an on-the-spot trim from a local barber, Stockton Brew Fest shines a light on our local businesses. We're not just out having a great time, but also providing a venue to help support our local economy and give our creative types in the area a platform to put out their product or service.

Food, Food, Food!

It's smart to balance out your brew tasting with some food—so you better believe we'll have some great food on-site for you to indulge in. Burgers, BBQ, hot dogs, tacos, hot chicken, and more will be in the house to satisfy your hunger, and maybe prepare you for round two... or three... or four... or five...

As if all that wasn't enough, LIVE MUSIC will be provided by the highly talented DJ Ekspoe, so you can count on him dropping fire beats throughout the day. Plus, VIP's are allowed in ONE HOUR before everyone else and score a free gift bag upon entry!
