The Vancouver Craft Beer and Music Festival (VCBW) has been cancelled for 2026. Organizers cited the significant pressure on Vancouver venues, infrastructure, scheduling, and logistics caused by FIFA-related activity across the city as making it impossible to deliver the caliber of experience the festival is known for.
Devoted to appreciating craft beer, the VCBW has evolved from an intimate gathering of beer geeks to a bonafide cultural phenomenon. By combining delicious beer with incredible food, cutting edge arts, music and craft culture, the event captures the very essence of Vancouver.
With special guests from the brewing industry, local and abroad, plus live music and a vibrant community of people coming together, VCBW is a hopping event for anyone with a thirst for beer and a passion for supporting the local beer industry. Please visit the official VCBW website for updates on future editions of the festival.
