Join in the fun at the annual Mittenfest beer festival, where all of the best local beers are on tap and ready for tasting! Bundle up, bring your friends, and get ready for frosty drafts, tons of entertainment, and an exciting winter atmosphere that's sure to cure any case of the winter blues. Mittenfest is a beer tasting event that will feature craft beers from local tri-state area breweries, DJ jams, tented food vendors, and tons of other surprises!
We've called it Mittenfest for a reason! This is an outdoor event. Prepare for cold weather and dress accordingly. Mittens are strongly encouraged. Washington Park will have additional seating areas, fire pits, and propane heaters scattered throughout the Park. We encourage you to warm up at a local establishment after you leave Mittenfest. You are not permitted to bring alcohol to Washington Park. Doing so could result in an open container ticket. Support Washington Park - buy a Mittenfest ticket and if interested, buy additional drinks from our concessions. Food vendors will be onsite serving food from 11a to 5p. You are welcome to bring outside food or pick up carry out from an OTR restaurant nearby. The Sherwin-Williams Porch will remain open to the public, but beers from Mittenfest beer booths are limited to pre-registered guests only. The Porch will offer our regular slate of beer offerings including wine and liquor for purchase. The event is outdoors and rain, snow, or shine. In the case of a severe winter storm, the event will be rescheduled to a later date. Ticket holders will be notified via email of any event changes.
