Tacoma Beer Week celebrates the people and businesses that make the region’s food and beverage community special. Local hosts put together tastings, pairing dinners, special releases, creative activities, and other experiences throughout the celebration.

Events take place at individual breweries, bars, restaurants, and other participating locations throughout Tacoma and the South Sound. There isn’t one central festival venue.

Check each event listing for its location and directions.

There’s no festival-wide ticket, pass, or registration. Choose the events you’d like to attend from our event calendar and book directly with the host when required.

Some events welcome walk-ins; others require advance tickets or reservations. Check each listing before heading out.

Prices vary by event. Some may be free to attend, while others charge admission or offer food, beverages, and activities for purchase.

Check the event listing for pricing, what’s included, and any ticket or reservation requirements. Free admission doesn’t necessarily include food or drinks.

No! Beer is part of our identity, but Tacoma Beer Week also celebrates food, creativity, collaboration, and the people behind our local hospitality community.
