After being rudely interrupted by last year’s pandemic, the inaugural Gold Coast Beer & Cider Festival will now take place on Saturday October 22 2022.

The festival will be staged in the Broadwater Parklands between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm, with more than 40 premium craft beer and cider producers and five distilleries expected to participate.  The festival is being organised by the Schwartz Family Company, which has operated the Canberra Craft Beer & Cider Festival for over a decade, and the Hunter Valley Wine & Beer Festival. The festival is a family-friendly affair, with children under 18 allowed it free of charge to enjoy all of the kids activities on offer.

Tickets will cost $20 per person for online pre-festival bookings or $30 per person on the day, giving access to a wide range of premium local and interstate craft breweries, gourmet food vendors, live music, and other festival activities. Individual tastings will be from $2 per 100ml tasting.
