North Florida’s largest beer festival returns Saturday, August 8, 2026, 2-6 p.m., to the indoor comfort of the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center for what organizers are calling “The Great Number 8 on 8/8.”
More than just a beer festival, this is Tallahassee’s biggest party. Guests can sample 400+ beers, ciders, seltzers, and ready-to-drink cocktails from across the country, while also enjoying music, interactive experiences, and a curated lineup of local vendors. Throw an axe, test out a temporary tattoo, shop permanent jewelry, secure your Hop Passport, and explore food options available throughout the event. The Tallahassee Beer Festival is an experience designed to keep you moving between pours.
At its core, the festival is about impact. Hosted in partnership with Tallahassee Ford and benefiting United Partners for Human Services (UPHS), every ticket supports local nonprofit organizations, giving attendees the chance to DO GOOD while they DRINK BEER.
