Over 60 Breweries, Wineries & Cideries, Live Music & Great Food are set in the beautiful Yakima Valley…The Home of Fresh Hops.

The Fresh Hop Ale Festival brings beer lovers from all over the world to the home of the hops. The Yakima Valley produces over 70% of our nation’s hops and is second only to Germany in overall production. We celebrate the harvest with Fresh Hop Beers. These beers have to be brewed with fresh hops from the Valley and can only be produced at this time of year. Each of our breweries submits a beer for judging and winners are announced during the festival.

Additional tasting tokens, merchandise, and food can be purchased throughout the night. 3-4 bands will be performing from 5 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.
