The eagerly anticipated 8th Annual Squamish Beer Festival, sponsored by Paul Hudson Mortgage Wealth, will happen on Saturday, June 22 at the Squamish Loggers Sports Ground. This festival promises to be the perfect way to celebrate the solstice and welcome the start of summer.
The Squamish Beer Festival, founded by locals Scott McQuade, JP Tondreau, and Trevor Magee in 2016, has grown into an iconic event, celebrating craft beer and mountain culture. Originally started as a way to share their passion for craft beer, the festival has expanded significantly, thanks to the continuous support of local businesses. It now features craft beer, craft cider, and a variety of other craft beverages.
Held at the Squamish Loggers Sports Ground, in the heart of Squamish, the festival will run from 1 pm to 6 pm and is expected to draw over 2,000 attendees. The event will feature live music, DJs, food trucks, lawn games, and an overall great vibe, highlighted by the opportunity to sample over 100 beverages from more than 40 different purveyors.
