PRESS RELEASE / June 25, 2026 (Springfield, MA) – Beer lovers from across New England are invited to “Raise Something Worthy” at the 2026 Worthy BrewFest, presented by Beacon Bank, this Saturday at The Landing at the MassMutual Center. The festival is rain or shine, with gates opening at 12:00 p.m., and promises an afternoon celebrating craft beverages, local food, live entertainment, and community.
This year’s festival features 60 sampling vendors, offering attendees the opportunity to explore a wide variety of craft beer, cider, mead, kombucha, spirits, and other specialty beverages from across the region.
A highlight of the day is the Worthy Homebrewers Competition, where talented homebrewers will compete for the chance to see their recipe come to life. The winning brewer will earn the opportunity to collaborate with an established brewery to professionally produce their beer, a one-of-a-kind prize that celebrates the creativity and passion of the homebrewing community.
Festivalgoers can also enjoy live music from DJ Onyx throughout the day while grabbing a bite from local favorites, including:
-
Latitudes – Sauce:d Wood Fired Pizza
-
The Fenway Sausage Guy
-
North Elm Butcher Block
-
Take Flight Coffee
New this year, Worthy BrewFest is also giving back through a partnership benefiting Make-A-Wish. Attendees can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a cooler filled with Worthy BrewFest merchandise and beer generously donated by participating breweries. Every raffle ticket sold helps support Make-A-Wish’s mission of creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
For those attending as the group’s driver, Designated Driver tickets are available and include complimentary soft drinks throughout the event, along with a restaurant gift card as a thank-you for helping keep the roads safe.
Getting to the festival is easy with $5 event parking available at the Convention Center Car Park, located adjacent to the MassMutual Center.
Tickets are still available, but organizers encourage attendees to purchase in advance.
“Worthy BrewFest has always been about more than great beer, it’s about bringing people together to celebrate local breweries, support small businesses, discover new favorites, and give back to the community,” said Samantha Savoie, Marketing Director for the Springfield Business Improvement District. “Whether you’re a longtime craft beer enthusiast or simply looking for a fun Saturday afternoon, there’s something for everyone at Worthy.”
