We could not be more excited to be bringing back Hop Blossom Craft Beer Festival for its 11th year in downtown Winchester. We'll see you on June 1st from 12pm-6pm on the Old Town Walking Mall. This year we'll be bringing 80+ beers from 30+ local breweries, a ton of crafters, specialty food vendors, and FUN!
This year Hop Blossom is raising funds for the Winchester Main Street Foundation and Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue!
In 2023, the festival attracted about 4,000 guests who enjoyed flagship craft beer as well as special, one-off and seasonal brews. To date, this event has raised over $85,000 to support our four-legged friends in the metro DC area!
We expect to sell out, so don't delay!
If available, tickets will be sold at the gate for $40.
