KENNETT SQUARE, PA — More than 200 craft beers, live music, local food, and thousands of beer enthusiasts will once again fill downtown Kennett Square this fall as the Kennett Brewfest returns for its 29th year.
Scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10, the annual event has become one of Chester County’s signature fall traditions, drawing approximately 3,000 attendees each year to sample beers from more than 80 breweries while enjoying the community atmosphere that has made the festival a local favorite.
Hosted by Kennett Collaborative, the Brewfest serves as both a celebration of craft brewing and a fundraiser supporting the organization’s year-round efforts to enhance and promote downtown Kennett Square.
“As we celebrate our 29th year, we’re proud that Kennett Brewfest has become more than a beer festival. It’s a tradition that brings people together while supporting Kennett Collaborative’s work throughout the year,” said Mary Lou Baily, development manager for Kennett Collaborative. “Whether you’re coming for the rare beers, the live music, the food, or simply to spend the day with friends, Brewfest is one of those events that showcases everything people love about Kennett Square.”
Attendees can choose from two ticket options. The General Session includes unlimited tastings and a commemorative tasting mug, while the Connoisseur Session offers early access, rare and limited-edition pours from 30 breweries, a catered lunch from Natalie’s Fine Foods, and the opportunity to vote for the festival’s “Best of Connoisseur” award.
Organizers have also expanded options for non-drinkers, with non-alcoholic tickets providing access to the festival atmosphere and a selection of specialty beverages and non-alcoholic beers.
In addition to the tastings, guests can expect live entertainment, artisan vendors, and food offerings throughout the afternoon.
Tickets are on sale now, and organizers are encouraging attendees to purchase early, as the event is expected to sell out.
