What to know:

The Chili Fest portion of this festival is free and includes unlimited chili-flavored food samples (while supplies last) and access to all festival entertainment and activities; and the option to purchase single beer and seltzers at designated stations in the event. The Beer Fest portion of this festival gives you access to everything the Chili Fest has to offer with additional access to unlimited samples from our beverage vendors. There is also an opportunity for a VIP package upgrade. Tickets can be bought online prior to arrival or onsite at the event.

Proceeds support the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley

In addition to sampling frosty brews, the Beer Fest offers a great opportunity to support the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley.

Last year, money raised at the Boulder Valley Beer Fest supported a variety of local efforts, including:

The Dictionary Project, which distributes dictionaries and gazetteers to third-grade students in the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD)
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, which pay for a week of camp for 10 students in BVSD schools
Scholarships for seniors graduating from BVSD high schools
Mental health initiatives
