Ales for the Trail 2026

Join us at Coeur d'Alene City Park in downtown Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, for a day of craft beer, cider, wine, mocktails and more to raise funds for the North Idaho Centennial Trail!

Raise a glass at one of North Idaho's most beloved summer traditions! Ales for the Trail returns to Coeur d'Alene City Park on Saturday, August 15th, set right along the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene in arguably the most stunning setting our city has to offer.

This year's festival brings together 25+ local and regional breweries and cideries, offering unlimited tastings of craft beer, wine, hard cider, and mocktails. Come ready to explore, because you'll have the chance to meet and mingle directly with the brewers and brand reps behind every pour, and cast your vote for the 2026 People's Choice Award!

Beyond the brews, the afternoon features live music (headlined by JamShack!), lawn games, raffle prizes, and some of Coeur d'Alene's best food trucks. Whether you're a craft beer devotee or just looking for a gorgeous summer evening by the lake, there's something here for everyone.

Best of all, every ticket sold supports the North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation, helping preserve and maintain 23 miles of non-motorized trails that connect our community.
