The Kenai Peninsula Beer Festival is a FUNdraiser for the Rotary Club of Soldotna. The proceeds from this event are used for LOCAL projects. The event features beer and wine generously donated by the breweries/wineries in attendance. There will music and food available.

Please note this is a Non-Smoking/Vaping event!

Important Updates Below: 

We’re making a few big changes to this year’s festival, and we want to keep you in the loop so you can plan ahead. After thoughtful consideration and feedback, we’re streamlining the event experience and relocating to a new venue!

🎟 New Admission Format:
We are moving to a single General Admission ticket for all guests. That means there will be no Connoisseur Hour or early entry this year.

• Gates open at 6:00 PM for everyone.
• General Admission includes a commemorative tasting glass and (8) 4 oz. samples from our amazing brewery lineup.
• One ticket type = a more unified, vibrant, and accessible experience.

📍 New Location:
This year’s festival will take place at:
Soldotna Creek Park
251 States Ave, Soldotna, AK 99669
This beautiful outdoor venue will provide a fun, relaxed, and scenic atmosphere — perfect for a summer evening of great beer and good company.

💰 Ticket Prices:
We’re also simplifying and reducing the cost for early ticket buyers:

• $40 – Online Pre-Purchase
• $50 – At the Door (if available)

Buying your ticket online in advance guarantees entry and saves you money!

Why the Changes?
We know the Connoisseur Hour and our previous venue have been popular, and these decisions weren’t made lightly. Our goal is to create a smoother, more inclusive experience while taking advantage of a beautiful outdoor setting that better fits the spirit of the festival.

We can’t wait to welcome you to this refreshed version of the event. Thanks for growing with us — and for continuing to support local beer and our festival community!
