BeerFest Sydney at Darling Harbour Tumbalong Park


Sydneysiders’ ultimate summer party is here! BeerFest Sydney is making its triumphant debut at Darling Harbour’s Tumbalong Park on 6–7 December, bringing together NSW’s best boutique vineyards, brewers, cideries, distillers, cheesemongers, and local food producers for a weekend of celebration.

Headlined by Sneaky Sound System and a Daft Punk Discovery Tribute Show, BeerFest promises live music, laugh-out-loud comedy, hands-on masterclasses, and exclusive one-off brews – all in a vibrant harbourside setting.

The festival, which will attract over 8,000 people, is the first event of its kind to be held in the redesigned CBD harbourside precinct, which will come alive over the weekend with a full array of gastronomic delights. 

Beer industry icon Lindsy Greig, 36, is hosting the Beer Olympics and masterclasses and James Harding, Festival Co-Director, says, “BeerFest is about more than just great drinks.

“It’s a celebration of Australia’s creativity and community. We love to push boundaries and create lifelong memories through unique and engaging experiences, offering a perfect combination of education and fun, allowing festival-goers to get up close and personal with the innovators behind their favourite bevvies, and have fun in the process.

“Our program celebrates creativity, diversity, and all things that make our industry one of the greatest in the world.  Sydney BeerFest at Tumbalong Park as the ultimate blend of party vibes and brew education. It's a place where good times and great flavours collide.”
