What better way to celebrate All Hallow's Eve than a beer festival?
The STLBEER HALLOWEEN PARTY features breweries from throughout the Greater St. Louis region pouring unlimited samples, music, great food, a Hefe Ride (think hay-ride with kegs on it), an incredible costume contest for both attendees and our brewers, and more, all in historic Lafayatte Park!
This is a 21 and up event. Event tickets gain access to the festival grounds and includes a commemorative tasting glass and samples from our local breweries. Food is not included with the price of ticket. Food trucks, food vendors and retail vendors will be onsite for attendees to purchase whatever they want. Designated Driver tickets will be available for purchase at the gate day-of for $5 and only include entry to the festival grounds. Bring a blanket or camping chairs if you want, or just share the picnic tables provided by the park. And don't forget to wear your Halloween costume because there will be prizes for the best dressed (individual and couple/group).
The list of participating breweries, homebrew clubs, food trucks and vendors will be updated as we draw closer to the event.
Event is rain or shine. Tickets are non-refundable. This event is strictly for those 21+ years of age with valid photo ID. Tickets for Designated Drivers are $5 and available at the door.
FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
This event is for those 21+ in age with a valid ID. Both GA tickets and DD tickets are limited to those 21 and up. We do allow ticket holders to bring infants under the age of 21 months.
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
There is plenty of onsite parking in the Lafayette neighborhood including a lot of parking around Lafayette Park where the event takes place. We encourage folks to take cabs, Uber, and Lyft to get to and from the event safely. Designated sober drivers are also encouraged and DD tickets will be available for sale the day of the event for $5.
What can I bring into the event?
Folding chairs and snacks are allowed and encouraged. NO outside alcohol is allowed into the event. Pets are NOT allowed unless they are service animals. Weapons are absolutely not allowed at the event.
Are you sure I can't bring my pets?
Yes! You will be turned away at the gate if you have pets that aren't service animals. We love our fur babies as well, but this is a gated event with a lot of people in close proximity and not everyone is a dog person and we want to make sure all of our attendees feel safe.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Feel free to email cheers@stlbeer.org with any questions.
What's the refund policy?
All ticket sales are final. No refunds will be provided. The festival runs rain or shine. Tickets are transferrable but note that if there are any difficulties with scanning in tickets at the gate, tickets can only be looked up by the name and email address of the original purchaser, so ticket holders of transferred tickets should come prepared with that information.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No. You can present your phone with your barcode provided by your ticketing confirmation receipt to be scanned for single entry into the festival. If you have a print out of your ticket, it may, however speed things up. If you have neither, we can still look up your purchase by name and email provided at purchase.
What is included with the ticket price?
General Admission tickets gain access to one 4-hour festival session and include a commemorative tasting glass, and unlimited samples from participating breweries as well as access to entertainment, music, and vendors. Food is not included with the price of tickets. Food vendors will be onsite for attendees to purchase whatever they want. Designated Driver tickets grant access to the festival grounds but do not receive a tasting glass or access to included sampling.
The festival runs "rain or shine". What does that mean?
STLBEER festivals take place rain or shine. To check the National Weather Service forecast for the St. Louis area, visit www.weather.gov. Bring your ponchos and/or smaller umbrellas if there's a high probability of rain. If the weather is predicted to be cold... dress appropriatedly to stay warm as we can not guarantee any sort of heating systems or firepits will be available. "Rain or Shine" does not apply to severe weather. The Halloween Party is an "open-air" event and we cannot guarantee refuge to patrons in the event of severe weather. If there is either a watch or warning (tornado or lightning storm) for our area or sustained wind over 35 mph, the festival session will be cancelled. If the festival session is underway and a emergency lightening storm or tornado/extreme wind situation arises during the event, the festival will need to end and there will be no refunds. A festival session that has begun and is shortened due to severe weather conditions, is not cause for a full or partial refund. If weather potentially threatens life, we shut down. The decision to continue the festival after adverse weather passes will be determined on a case-by-case basis, based on consultation with appropriate weather experts. The STLBEER Halloween Party is rain or shine unless there is severe weather as previously stated.
