About

The Williamsburg Beer Festival is an annual community celebration that brings together Virginia breweries, local restaurants, small businesses, and families to support a shared mission of giving back. Since its founding, the festival has raised more than $137,500 for the Howard Hanna Children's Free Care Fund (HHCFCF) and its regional partner Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters (CHKD), with proceeds directly supporting pediatric mental health programs across the region.

As an official Commemorative Partner of VA250, the Williamsburg Beer Festival honors Virginia's long tradition of craftsmanship, gathering, and civic spirit. The event reflects the same communal energy that once filled colonial taverns—places where ideas were exchanged, neighbors connected, and the early conversations of American independence took shape. Today, the festival continues that legacy by creating a welcoming space where the community comes together in support of a meaningful cause.

The festival features Virginia-based breweries and cideries, local restaurants, and a robust silent auction supported by agents, staff, friends, family, clients, and community partners. Its purpose is twofold: to celebrate Virginia's brewing heritage and to strengthen the bonds of service, generosity, and shared identity that define the Commonwealth.

Rooted in history, powered by community, and committed to the well-being of Virginia's children, the Williamsburg Beer Festival proudly contributes to the spirit of remembrance and civic engagement at the heart of the VA250 commemoration.
