? The 7th ShakesBeer Festival ?
Join us in Celebrating Beer and Theatre in Perfect Harmony
Celebrate your love for craft beer at the historic American Shakespeare Theater this year! Our 7th Annual ShakesBeer Festival is ready to enchant you with an array of finely crafted beers and the talented artisans who brew them. A variety of over 50 craft breweries, live music, local food trucks, vendors, games, and activities await you - providing the perfect recipe for unforgettable moments ?.
We stand unique in our commitment to support brewers attending the event. By purchasing all their beer for the festival, we not only compensate them for their products, but we also donate a portion of every ticket sold towards Stratford youth athletic programs and scholarships for graduating seniors. We are more than just a beer festival, we're a community ?.
? What Does My Ticket Include?
For $49+ fee (in advance), or $59+ fee on the day of the event, your General Admission ticket will give you access to the festival, beer samples, live music, and a special commemorative tasting glass ?. Please note that the ShakesBeer Festival is a private, ticketed, 21+ event. Minors, children, infants, babies and dogs are not allowed to attend the festival.
? Parking & Transportation
On-site parking is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis (see map). We encourage you to enjoy responsibly - designate a driver, use a ride-share service, or book a taxi in advance.
? Attending Breweries
We are proud to announce the participation of numerous breweries at the ShakesBeer Fest. Here's a glimpse of some of the attending breweries - with many more to be added soon:
