The Milk District’s Festival Park was taken over by brews, bevs and plenty of smiling faces this weekend with the 10th anniversary of Orlando Beer Fest.
We celebrated with scores of drinks, interactive activities, games, local food trucks, plenty of vendors, DJs, sports and live music courtesy headliner Cat Ridgeway, joined by Beemo.
Here’s all the fun we saw at this year’s event.

Orlando Beer Festival takes place this weekend at the Milk District’s Festival Park, promising hundreds of varieties of beers, seltzers and spirits from local and national breweries — including Crooked Can, Broken Strings Brewery, The Salty Llama and Central 28.
But this Orlando Weekly event isn’t all just refreshing bevs. There will be activities, games, local food trucks, plenty of vendors, DJs, sports on big ol’ screens and live music. Live entertainment offerings this year are particularly leveled up with headliner Cat Ridgeway, joined by Beemo.
It’s a fall festival for the ages, whether the leaves have changed or not. (They have not.) VIP access gets you in two hours early with access to exclusive eats and drinks — all the better to toast the 10th anniversary of this fest.
2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 15, Orlando Festival Park, 2911 E. Robinson St., orlandobeerfestival.com, $60-$90.

Singer-songwriter and Best of Orlando®-lauded musician — placing in both Best Pop Act and Best Singer-Songwriter — Cat Ridgeway has been announced as a headliner on this year’s Orlando Beer Festival.
Happening in mid-November, this Orlando Weekly event promises hundreds of varieties of beers, seltzers and spirits from local and national breweries and companies, as well as activities, games, vendors, DJs and (yes) live music.
Ridgeway released her latest harder-edged album, Sprinter, back in the spring. It was a new creative chapter for this familiar local artist, featuring adventurous collabs with members of Japanese Breakfast, WHY? and Ween. Make sure to pregame with Ridgeway’s Orlando Weekly interview, conducted when Sprinter was released.
Orlando Beer Fest happens Saturday, Nov. 15, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available now.
