After being forced to postpone the event last year, the Schwartz Family Company has announced its inaugural Gold Coast Beer & Cider Festival will now take place on Saturday, October 22, 2022.
The festival will be staged in the Broadwater Parklands between 11am and 5pm, with over 40 premium craft beer and cider producers and five distilleries expected to participate.
The event is being organised by the Schwartz Family Company, which has operated the Canberra Craft Beer & Cider Festival for over a decade, and the Hunter Valley Wine & Beer Festival.
Tickets will cost $20 per person for online pre-Festival bookings or $30 per person on the day, giving access to a wide range of premium local and interstate craft breweries, gourmet food vendors, live music, and other festival activities. Individual tastings will be from $2 per 100ml tasting.
As with all Schwartz Festivals, the family-friendly atmosphere will include free activities for children.
