North Vancouver, BC | Brewhalla North Vancouver is set to return to The Shipyards on Friday, May 1, 2026, marking its fifth consecutive year as one of Metro Vancouver’s most anticipated craft beverage and music festivals. The event brings thousands together to enjoy BC craft beverages, live music, local food trucks, games, and a vibrant community spirit.

Running from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the festival offers attendees the chance to sample craft beer, cider, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages from more than 20 regional producers.

A Full Festival Experience

General Admission includes entry, a commemorative festival tasting glass, and three drink tokens, with additional tokens available onsite. Live entertainment and a bustling Games Zone bring energy to every corner of the festival.

Hosted at The Shipyards, the festival features a stunning waterfront backdrop with views of downtown Vancouver and convenient access via the Lonsdale Quay Seabus Terminal and bus exchange.

Spotlighting Local Craft Talent

While the full 2026 vendor list will be released closer to the event, festival-goers can expect to see returning favourites from past years, including La Cervecería Astilleros, Strathcona Beer Company, Bali Water and Fraser Valley Cidery. Top quality food trucks such as Dos Amigos, Japadog, The Mad Greek and Beaver Tails will be there satisfying all hunger cravings.

These local producers represent the creativity and quality that has helped establish Brewhalla as a showcase for BC’s craft beverage scene.

“Brewhalla North Vancouver has become a true community tradition, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring it back for a fifth year. Every festival showcases the incredible craft talent we have here in BC, but it’s the energy of our attendees, friends, neighbours, and visitors coming together that makes Brewhalla so special. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at The Shipyards this May.” — Jordan Brett, Brewhalla Festival Team
