Great American Beer Festival Relocates From Downtown Denver
The festival will combine craft beer with live music in a two-day outdoor format, reducing sessions from four to two, organizers said.
- On Tuesday, the Brewers Association announced the Great American Beer Festival will move outdoors in 2026, relocating from the Colorado Convention Center to Denver's Levitt Pavilion, with sessions Oct. 10-11.
- Organizers explained they want to inject fresh energy into the 43-year-old festival amid declining craft beer interest, saying it's about a more social, lawn-based vibe blending beer with live music.
- The Levitt Pavilion holds 10,000 people, far smaller than the Colorado Convention Center, and as an outdoor amphitheater at 1380 W. Florida Ave, it will host GABF's first open-skies edition, described as risky in Denver's fall.
- The Brewers Association said tickets will cost $60 t and go on sale in June, with the event shortened to two sessions over two days, down from previous formats.
- With roots in Boulder in 1982, the Great American Beer Festival peaked in the early 2010s as one of the largest craft beer events, while the Brewers Association adapted formats amid slowing category growth.
