From Vancouver Craft Beer Week to Mondial de la Bière in Montreal, here's every Canadian beer festival worth planning a trip around this spring and early summer.
Festival season is back. After a long winter of cellar drinking, here are the spring and early-summer 2026 Canadian beer festivals our editors will be at — plus a few smaller ones worth the drive. April Ontario Craft Beer Week (Toronto, April 10–19) — tap takeovers and brewery dinners across the province, anchored by the Roundhouse festival weekend. Festival des Bières du Monde (Saguenay, April 24–26) — Quebec's underrated regional festival, focused on European imports and local farmhouse brewers. May Vancouver Craft Beer Week (May 22–31) — still the biggest week on the BC calendar. The main festival weekend is at the PNE, but the off-site events are where the gems are. Calgary International Beerfest (May 15–16) — 100+ breweries, heavy on Prairie producers. June Mondial de la Bière (Montreal, June 3–7) — the largest beer festival in Canada, taking over Palais des Congrès for five days. Saskatoon Craft Beer Festival (June 13) — small, focused, fantastic Prairie lineup. Halifax Seaport Beerfest (June 12–13) — Atlantic Canada's flagship festival, on the waterfront. Find these and dozens more on the Beer Guide events page — filterable by region and date.
