Stratford Hall Brews & BBQ Festival

Attend Stratford Hall’s Brews & BBQ Festival

Saturday, April 5, 2025
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

Enjoy an incredible lineup of craft brews, wines, spirits, barbecue, live music, and more at Stratford Hall’s Brews & BBQ Festival. A festival ticket lets you roam freely between vendors, as you explore their unique offerings—each pour is just a purchase away, with breweries selling 16oz pours for $8 per glass.
Be among the first 1,500 ticket purchases to receive a souvenir glass! (Free glass for early bird and adult general admission ticket purchases.) With your ticket, you’ll have access to BBQ pitmasters serving up mouthwatering barbecue, craft brews, local wineries, spirits, a spread of other local fare and sweet treats, artisan vendors, and live music.  Wander the gardens and explore the c. 1738 Great House’s top floor until 2 p.m. during the Festival. Then head over to the car show to see the Victory 7 Mustang Car Club. Discover the best of Virginia’s brews, wines, bites, and shopping—with each pour and plate available for purchase, immerse yourself in the region’s unique flavors and finds.
