2024 Montclair Beer, Wine & Music Festival

The Montclair Village Association (MVA) and generous presenting sponsor Ken Betts Company are excited to announce the 10th Annual Montclair Beer, Wine & Music Festival. Join us on Saturday, June 15th, 2024 from 12-6pm in Montclair Village nestled in the beautiful hills of Oakland, CA. Several blocks will be closed for this community celebration and fundraiser–last year there were over 3,000 attendees.

Proceeds benefit the MVA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the Village business district and surrounding community for 75 years. Funds raised will help improve safety, beautification, and ensure free family-friendly gatherings continue throughout the year.

Unlimited Tasting Package

The ticketed tasting package ($50 in advance or $60 at event) includes unlimited samples of 50+ beverage selections and a commemorative glass sponsored by Montclair Sports Tennis & Pickleball and Red Oak Realty. Featured will be local craft breweries like Dokkaebier and Hella Coastal, classics like Singha, and artisan wine businesses like Coco Noir Wine Shop & Bar, Farmstead Cheese & Wines, Maker Wine, Mora Estate Winery and Transparent Wine Company. There will also be kombucha, cider and non-alcoholic beverages!

A $20 tasting package discount will be applied when attendees enroll in the Montclair Cares Club. Cares Club membership is $120 per year, which help create and sustain positive community gatherings.
