🥒 WYANDOTTE BEER FEST 2026 — GET PICKLED!

Wyandotte Beer Fest returns to the scenic Detroit Riverfront in Downtown Wyandotte on September 18, 2026 (6:00 PM–10:00 PM) for the BIGGEST Downriver beer festival—now fully transformed into a briny, pickle-packed celebration.

This year, Wyandotte Beer Fest is officially GETTING PICKLED. Expect pickle games, pickle beer, pickle cocktails, pickle-inspired food menus, themed vendors, and nonstop riverfront entertainment all night long.

Guests can sample and enjoy a wide selection of craft beers, ciders, meads, and seltzers from Michigan favorites and breweries across the country. Sampling packages include a souvenir glass + 12 drink samples, creating a curated tasting experience throughout the festival.

Alongside tastings, enjoy live music, DJs, food vendors, interactive attractions, games, shopping, and unforgettable photo moments along the riverfront.

🍸 THE BIG DILL COCKTAIL TAKEOVER

Not for the faint of brine. Step into one of the festival’s most talked-about destinations featuring bold pickle-inspired cocktails crafted with Jameson Irish Whiskey and Absolut Tabasco Vodka.
