Overview
- The 2026 festival will run Oct. 10–11 with two sessions, each from noon to 4 p.m., on Saturday and Sunday.
- Tickets go on sale in June with prices starting at $60, reflecting a shorter, two-session format.
- Plans call for live music, expanded open-air tasting zones, and a redesigned PAIRED food-and-beer program tailored to the outdoor venue.
- It will be the event’s first outdoor edition after decades at the Colorado Convention Center, while the national beer competition remains a core feature.
- Local outlets note unanswered questions on weather contingencies and participant accommodations; Levitt Pavilion is a city-owned nonprofit amphitheater in Ruby Hill Park.
