- 9 hours
The Oregon City Brewing Co annual Oregon Trail Brewfest is back for a 5th year and we couldn't be more excited. Come down and sample 50+ craft beers and ciders while enjoying live music and delicious food carts from local food vendors.
The Oregon Trail Brewfest celebrates beer from some of the finest craft breweries in Oregon. The festival will be held at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Oregon City around their expansive lawn under the backdrop of giant covered wagons to further celebrate the pioneer spirit.
Thousands of beer lovers travel annually from around the state to sample from the wide variety of beer styles served, all of which highlight the influences that different regions have on the brewing process.
Six amazing local bands will rock us out on the main stage while a variety of tasty food options keep you fueled up. It's been a long while since we gathered, we can't wait to see you! This is an all-ages summertime blast.
Cheers Pioneers!
