2ND ANNUAL PEARL DISTRICT BEER & ARTS FEST CELEBRATES OREGON BREWERIES
Now Extended to Two Days! Join Us for a Weekend with 20 Breweries and Cideries, Local Artists, Live Music, and Food Trucks
Get ready to raise your glasses for the 2nd annual Pearl District Beer & Arts Fest! Taking place in the North Park Blocks of Portland, near the birthplace of craft brewing in the Pacific Northwest, this event promises delicious food trucks, talented local artists, and vibrant live music.
This year, the festival is expanding to two days:
● Saturday, July 27th: 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.
● Sunday, July 28th: 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Deschutes Brewery and Backwoods Brewing Company are teaming up once again to celebrate the rich history of beer in Portland, this time with a special brew, Pearl Pals Neighborhood Lager. This true neighborhood collaboration is a crisp, refreshing dry-hopped lager with an ABV of 5% and an IBU of 35. Its light malt body is complemented by experimental hops, offering bright notes of citrus, ripe tropical fruit, and peach—perfect for a hot summer day.
This year, a portion of the proceeds benefit SOLVE Oregon, a non-profit organization dedicated to uniting thousands in Oregon and Southwest Washington to restore and protect our environment for future generations.
Don’t miss out on this year’s Pearl District Beer & Arts Fest. Visit the festival website to buy tickets, see the full lineup of breweries and cideries and get details on food trucks, artists, and live performances.
