Tickets are now on sale for the 20th Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival (GPBF) taking place on Friday, October 4 and Saturday, October 5 from 4-10 pm at the Seattle Center! This pumpkin-packed event will feature an impressive selection of 80+ beers and cider from local and national breweries, including eight new – and exclusive to the event – brews from event sponsor, Elysian Brewing.
From decadent, aged pumpkin creations, rare offerings, seasonals and fresh hop delights, the selection for the 20th anniversary is not to be missed. Attendees will also have the chance to sip on beer straight from a several-hundred-pound pumpkin (pre-scooped and scorched before being filled with beer, then sealed and conditioned before being tapped live at the festival.)
In addition to pumpkin brews, local DJs will be spinning wicked tracks, food trucks will be serving carnival food, attendees can get readings from a fortune teller, and beer floats will be served in partnership with Bluebird Ice Cream!
Plus, it wouldn’t be GPBF without a costume contest! This year’s theme is ORANGE. Join the revelry of pumpkin season worshippers and embrace the theme for your festive attire. Who knows, you might be crowned pumpkin royalty. We watched the costume contest last year, and attendees go all out.
100% of the proceeds from the festival will directly benefit The Vera Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing an all-ages space that fosters personal and community transformation through collaborative engagement in music and art. By attending GPBF, you’ll enjoy a fantastic celebration and contribute to a meaningful cause.
