Toronto’s Festival of Beer 2023 presented by The Beer Store returns July 28 – 30th at Bandshell Park, Exhibition Place. This year’s must-see entertainment line-up includes American rap legend, filmmaker and actor, Ice Cube live on the BET99 Bandshell Stage with rapper, actor and record producer, Big Boi, on Friday July 28th. California’s alt-rockers, Third Eye Blind, with Canadian Métis indie singer-songwriter, Ruby Waters perform on Saturday July 29th; rapper and singer/songwriter T-Pain and Jamaican reggae singer, Koffee both take the stage on Sunday July 30th to close out the weekend.
Celebrating 25+ years of the golden liquid, this year’s festival features more than 400 brews, fizz and more… for beer enthusiasts and live music fans alike to slake their thirst while they soak up the summer sun. With their official TFOB mug upon entry, event guests may stroll the grounds to sample brews, bubbles, and non-alcohol options, with hundreds of choices available. Patrons are encouraged to sample food from a selection of vendor offerings while enjoying beer-themed games and entertainment activations throughout Bandshell Park — including fan fave, Canadian DJ Charlie B, spinning in the Beyond Beer zone – during the weekend.
In addition, Toronto’s Festival of Beer is hosting The Changemakers — a program dedicated to beer craftspeople currently creating compelling change, both within their community and for their industry. These changemakers have created safe and equitable workplaces, have implemented diverse hiring practices and paved the way for accessibility in brewing; all are shining examples of family- and community-minded leaders effecting change, with a compelling story to tell and a good brew to feature.
