See YOU NEXT YEAR!
In 2017 we celebrated Craft Beer Month with our 6th annual Harrison Beer Festival! Each event included access to a themed buffet, provided by the Harrison Hot Springs Resort. The Cask night theme was an Irish Party, with live music, 9 casks, and fun games; including a potato peeling contest. Wear your tartans and your green. The Beer Festival Tasting on Saturday afternoon tasting saw 21 craft breweries at the St. Alice Hall. Tons of breweries that surely should not be missed; see the 2017 voting results for Best Beers. A beer festival in October would not be complete without an Oktoberfest Dance. The Beer Barrels Band got you up and moving, and during the break there were fun games to be had.
Tickets sold out fast this year. Plan ahead for tickets to 2018's Beer Festival. Tickets will go on sale in August. For prices and details check out the different headings at the top of the page.
Thank you to all those that attended and supported the event these last 6 years. We are excited to bring you another year of Beer, and Fun in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs.
Think about making it a weekend getaway. There are hotel packages available, hot springs to enjoy, restaurants to dine in. Plus eagles are starting to dine on the spawning salmon. Fall is the perfect time of year to take a boat tour down the Harrison River to see this spectacular site of thousands of eagles.
