What it was like
Five thousand feet above the valley, the air is thinner and the beer tastes better. Or maybe that's just what happens when you put craft breweries next to a lake and tell everyone to relax.
The 16th Annual Lake Arrowhead Brewfest takes over Waterfront Park at Lake Arrowhead Village on August 22, 2026 from 11 AM to 4 PM. Craft breweries and homebrew clubs pour under a marquee tent with the San Bernardino Mountains as the backdrop. This is not a parking lot beer fest. This is a lakeside afternoon at 5,100 feet where the only thing competing with the IPAs is the view.
21+ only. Waterfront Park, Lake Arrowhead Village, Lake Arrowhead, CA.
If you've ever thought 'beer festival, but in the mountains,' someone already built it and has been running it for sixteen years.
