The Laval Beer Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an edition that’s more festive than ever
The countdown has begun for the 10th edition of the Laval Beer Festival, which will take over the Centre de la nature de Laval from July 10 to 12. To mark this anniversary year, the event promises a particularly rich lineup combining music, comedy, culinary discoveries, and family activities.
Unveiled before a packed house at Les Insulaires microbrewery, the 2026 lineup confirms the festival’s status as one of the must-attend beer events of the summer in Quebec.
Over 70 exhibitors and local discoveries
Over three days, more than 70 local exhibitors will gather on-site, including over 40 Quebec microbreweries. Festival-goers will be able to discover a wide array of beer and gourmet products in a friendly atmosphere designed for beer lovers, families, and groups of friends alike.
In addition to tastings, several workshops and special activities will enhance the experience, including culinary collaborations, interactive quizzes, and a hot sauce competition that promises to set the bravest taste buds ablaze.
A diverse musical lineup for the anniversary edition
On the music front, several well-known artists will take the Loto-Québec Stage over the course of the weekend. Les Louanges, Francis Degrandpré, Shah Frank, Steph Morin, and Wesli will get the crowd moving throughout the event, all accompanied by DJ Girard’s mixes.
On Friday night, Les Louanges will take the stage after Shah Frank’s performance, while Saturday will feature Francis Degrandpré. On Sunday, Wesli will wrap up the weekend with a summery, community-spirited vibe.
Comedy, entertainment, and a festive atmosphere
Comedy will also play a major role this year thanks to the Zone Meubles RD, which will host several talks and performances. Host Mathieu Chiasson will welcome Mibenson Sylvain, Lauriane Lalonde, Coco Belliveau, and Jacob Ospian throughout the weekend.
Visitors can also enjoy fire shows, line dancing workshops, an introduction to krump, and the popular Randolph quizzes.
Families won’t be left out thanks to the Toyota Vimont Family Zone, where inflatable games, creative workshops, face painting, and entertainment will be available for the little ones throughout the festival.
The organizers aim to continue offering an accessible and inclusive event where parents can fully enjoy the experience with their children.
In addition to focusing on the festive experience, the festival is also continuing its environmental efforts with various responsible sourcing initiatives. Those who purchase their tickets before May 2 will receive the official glass cup created specifically for this anniversary edition free of charge.
An official mobile app will also be available, allowing visitors to easily view the program, exhibitors, and site map directly on their phones.
