Every year in August, Durango holds its annual San Juan Brewfest, one of the biggest and grandest beer-tasting festivals in the southwest. A two-day festival full of music, beer, and food, guests will have a chance to sample unlimited tastings from up to 35 breweries.
With over 1,400 attendees in 2021, visitors can expect longer lines on the second day of the festival. Benefitting the United Way of Southwest Colorado, this year’s San Juan Brewfest will be held from Friday to Saturday, August 22nd to 23rd, 2025, at Buckley Park in downtown Durango. Only for those 21+, this festival is a wonderful, inebriated way to spend a summer weekend.
While both days include unlimited tastings, Friday is a more intimate event with only General Admission and DD tickets available. Saturday includes 4 levels of admission: VIP, General Admission, VIP DD, and GA DD. All ticket levels include a free souvenir cup and access to live music.
