| The 26th annual Great Canadian Beer Festival returns to Victoria on September 7 & 8, 2018. Tickets are on sale now. The GCBF is a non-profit society created for the purpose of introducing consumers to new beers and raising awareness of craft brewing in the local community and beyond. The GCBF is the longest-running beer festival in Canada and first took place in 1993 at the Victoria Conference Centre with 2000 attendees. The now two-day event takes place outdoors at Royal Athletic Park and hosts up to 9000 thirsty, craft beer lovers from all over the world.
This year the festival will host booths for 65+ breweries and two cideries, featuring over 240 beers and ciders. GCBF is thrilled to introduce the BC Ale Trail-er, showcasing ten additional breweries from across B.C., the Alberta Brewers Tent featuring four Alberta breweries, and welcomes a selection of new and returning breweries from Ontario and Quebec. The festival offers a variety of local food vendors serving up both West Coast and ethnic flavours, and non-stop entertainment featuring Bucan Bučan, local buskers, performers from Island Circus Space and more!
