Everything But Beer Festival

Discover a new take on a festival favourite. The first-ever Everything But Beer Festival brings fresh flavours, and toast-worthy experiences to Ontario’s only mountaintop event of its kind. Everything But Beer Festival brings the feel of a street festival to the top of a mountain. Instead of city blocks, you’ll wander between tasting stations set against open skies and scenic views. Instead of pints, explore a mix of crisp ciders, small-batch spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, and refreshing non-alcoholic options all made in Ontario. Along the way, discover standout vendors like 1858 Caesar Bar, Thornbury Cider, Side Launch Brewing Co., Nectr Kombucha, Sap Sucker, Ginslinger, Coors Light Seltzer, Reid's Distillery, and more, each pouring something worth a taste. Sampling tickets will be available for purchase during the duration of the event. On June 13, your experience starts with a scenic gondola ride up Blue Mountain. At the top, the Summitview Mountain Top Pavilion opens into a lively, open-air space filled with music, conversation, and the sound of glasses clinking. Move from one tasting to the next, snack, sip, and take in live music from the award-winning bluegrass band, The Slocan Ramblers. From first sips to new favourites, you’ll want to stay til last call. Book the Everything But Beer Festival stay package and end your evening with a relaxing stay in the Blue Mountain Village.
