Event Information
Snallygaster is Washington D.C.'s monster craft beer festival, named after a mythical dragon-like beast from local folklore. This one-day event, organized by the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, features an extensive selection of over 400 craft beers and ciders from around the world, including rare, small-batch, and seasonal brews. Alongside the impressive beer lineup, attendees can enjoy food from top local restaurants, live music, and various entertainment options. Held annually in the fall, Snallygaster has grown to become one of the most anticipated beer festivals in the region, attracting beer enthusiasts eager to explore innovative and exclusive offerings in a lively, festive atmosphere.
And yes, this is absolutely a family-friendly affair, so grab the kids and come out for a day full of fun in downtown DC.
With the Capitol building as our backdrop, Snallygaster lives smack dab in the heart and hubbub of DC on Pennsylvania Ave NW between 3rd & 6th – a location that provides a huge footprint to allow for fewer, quicker lines along with plentiful seating, shaded areas, restroom access and room to roam. As always, we strongly discourage driving to the event – for many reasons, not the least of which is that there truly is no parking to be had. Instead, take the metro, grab a cab or use a ride share. You’ll be glad you did.
Snallygaster serves as the largest annual fundraiser for Arcadiafood.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a more equitable and sustainable local food system in our region. By attending , you are supporting the demonstration farm in Alexandria (where they grow food using sustainable practices and host thousands of school kids to teach them about farming & healthy foods), two mobile farmer’s markets dedicated to under-served & low-income neighborhoods, a veteran's program and so much more. Haven't heard of them? You should, they're doing some very cool things right here in our own backyard.
