The Dunedin Craft Beer and Food Festival returns in 2026! Join us on 27th – 28th November for an epic two-day celebration of brews, incredible flavours, and live entertainment at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Friday 27th November 2026 - 4pm - 11pm (R18)

Saturday 28th November 2026 - 12pm - 7pm (All Ages)

Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin

Sip, savour and groove your way through two big days of craft beer, food and live music under the roof of Forsyth Barr Stadium. With 150+ beers from some of Aotearoa's top breweries and more than 75 vendors, there's plenty to explore. Juicy hazies, tart sours, crisp lagers and one-off festival releases you won't find anywhere else.

But it’s not just about the beers these days. There’s wine, cider, cocktails, small-batch gin, ginger beer and non-alcoholic options too. Plenty of food options from some of the South Island's favourite food trucks and eateries, with vegetarian and gluten-free choices available.

The entertainment keeps coming all weekend with Shapeshifter (DJ & MC set), Troy Kingi, Reb Fountain, PARK RD, Cleos, Pearly* and The Pop Tops playing the main stage. Try out the Silent Disco or book a spot in the Tasting Room.

Tickets: General Admission from $74.93 (Friday or Saturday) and Weekend Passes from $139.67. Brewer's Pick, VIP and group hosting packages are also available. All tickets include an official festival cup. Check the website for how to get your tickets!

Good to know: Friday is strictly R18. On Saturday, U18s can come free with a paying adult, but they need an add-on ticket (limited numbers), and there's a free kids' area.
