Watch summer take its final bow as the East River turns golden at The 2026 Long Island City Beer, Wine & Spirits Festival, unfolding waterfront at Culture Lab starting 6:00pm on Saturday September 19, 2026. The most Insta-worthy scenes, glass in hand, skyline glowing across the water...this is the send-off summer deserves!
Grab your $19 Ticket (a $70 value) and get ready for 3.5 Hours of Unlimited Tastings of 100+ Local, National, and International Craft Beers, Small Batch Wines & Artisanal Spirits. Every pour is a chance to slow down, taste something new, and toast the season out right.
Start where the light hits first: crisp, cold craft beers as the sun hangs low over Manhattan. Drift into a golden-hour wine world, where viticulture and warmth shine in every glass. Wind down under string lights with the distillers, learning whiskies, gins, and tequilas as the skyline flickers on for the night, each conversation a deep dive into the craft behind the bottle.
Live music carries you through it all. Think dancing, mingling, interactive games, and pours from a lineup built for discovery. Meet the makers behind Asturia Brewing's small-batch beers, sip Old World character from California Wine Cellar and Lavigneta Winery, go barrel-deep with Springbrook Farms Distillery's spirits, chase agave-forward heat from Whiteout Tequila, and uncover the stories behind Liquid Fables & more.
Premium pours, generous tastes, and the brands themselves will be on hand to talk craft, process, and everything that makes each bottle worth the hype. Fuel the feels with authentic empanadas from Chava's Empanadas, warm pretzels from Knot of this World, and cheesy arepas by MozzArepas. We're talking drool-worthy bites (for purchase) made for devouring between pours.
Summer's last light, best view in LIC...don't miss it!
Clink, swirl, and drink at The 2026 Long Island City Beer, Wine & Spirits Festival, taking your taste buds on a journey to discover a mind-blowing myriad of drinks during an unforgettable spectacular just steps from the East River. With the Manhattan skyline as your backdrop and the waterfront breeze setting the scene, this is a tasting experience built for a setting as memorable as the pours themselves.
From the creators of pulsd favorites like The Brooklyn Whiskey Festival, The NYC Wine Festival, and The Queens Beer, Wine & Spirits Festival comes another can't-miss celebration of craft beverages, and this one leans into LIC's waterfront charm for a festival experience that's equal parts intimate and electric.
The winemakers, brewers, and distillers themselves will be on hand, pouring rare and small-batch creations you won't find on a typical shelf, refilling your souvenir glass and walking you through the stories behind each bottle. Get to know the makers behind Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Round Table Brewery, Redwood, Single Cut, and Owls Brew, then venture into rare agave and spirit finds from Gran Lastul Tequila, Chica Chida Peanut Butter Tequila, Barrel House 6, Fort Hamilton, and Pinaq. It's the kind of up-close access that turns a tasting into a real conversation with the people behind the craft.
Round out the night exploring bold pours from Profanity Wine, Manor Sangria, Bartenura, and Gorgée de Arte, alongside standout small-batch spirits and RTDs from Blue Bird Hard Water, Dirty Water, Root Out, and the RLG Cocktail Series & RLG Tall Boy Series, and then some. It's a lineup deep enough to spend all night discovering something new.
Sample a curated selection of artisan drinks, grab a pretzel from Knot of this World (for purchase), and start dancing away. Let the extravaganza make this a Saturday one you won't soon forget...
