Toronto's Festival of Beer will be back in 2021!

Toronto's Festival of Beer, our celebration of the golden beverage, has been a part of Toronto's summer festival tradition since 1996. Over the last 23 years, brewers and beer fans have come together for amazing sunny summer days -- and at times endured freak thunderstorms, wind storms and the infamous 2008 Mud Bowl at For York.

No one could have predicted the calamity the world is now facing, when just ten short weeks ago COVID-19 changed the course of all our lives.

At the start of 2020, our plans were set; celebrating the 24th edition of Toronto's Festival of Beer this July at Bandshell Park at Exhibition Place.

With the health crisis ongoing and after broad consultation with the City, public health and other stakeholders, we concluded with heavy hearts the postponement of TFOB to July of next year - July 23-25, 2021 was absolutely the right and only decision.

Our top priority every year has been the health and safety of our fans, artists, brewers, partners and the hundreds of people behind the scenes who make the festival possible. This year, that priority became more urgent than ever before.

To the loyal fans of Toronto's Festival of Beer, your encouragement and support over these many weeks is deeply appreciated. We have been working diligently to reschedule many of our brewers, artists, and vendors we contracted this year for a TFOB in July 2021.

Our team is proud to announce that on the Bandshell Stage NAS has reconfirmed his participation for Friday, July 23, 2021; Sam Roberts Band has reconfirmed their participation for Saturday, July 24, 2021; and TLC will be returning for their epic performance on Sunday, July 25, 2021.

Tickets for the 2021 festival will relaunch in the weeks to come.

Please stay tuned for that information if you have not yet purchased a ticket.

We are also grateful so many of you have entrusted us to deliver an unforgettable experience by purchasing advanced tickets.

We're excited to bring you an amazing multi-dimensional experience at Toronto's Festival of Beer in 2021, celebrating it's 25th anniversary!
