Did someone say après-ski? The beloved Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Fest is back for 2025, meaning it’s time to whip out your best retro ski gear again. The fest will have craft beverages, gourmet food and special entertainment including a live DJ to keep the party going all day.

Mark your calendar for Feb. 22, 2025, and get ready to enjoy a selection from over 40 craft beverage vendors, including breweries, wineries, distilleries, cideries and non-alcoholic producers from across Ontario.

The event is held each year at Roundhouse Park in Toronto, right outside of Steam Whistle Brewing, running from noon to 6 p.m. There’s also an early entry option starting at 11 a.m. which includes a limited-edition festival toque.

“The Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Fest was the only outdoor event of its kind when we had our first festival in 2014. It’s a celebration of both great beer and Canadian Winters” says Greg Taylor, CEO of Steam Whistle.

“Every year we get to bring the province’s best local beer, cider and spirits together to party in the cold wearing neon retro ski gear, what more could you ask for?” Taylor continues.

While beverages are great, the festival’s other offerings are just as exciting. Après-ski-goers can take advantage of five local food trucks, a DJ-led dance party and interactive experiences.

Want to escape the cold weather for a bit? There will be indoor warming areas and outdoor campfires. Finally, be sure to come dressed in your best ski gear as the fest will host a Retro Ski Gear Contest, “awarding prizes for the best vintage-inspired outfits, as well as games and photo stations throughout the venue.”

Don’t hesitate and be sure to secure your tickets ASAP, with general admission starting at $54.32.

See you at Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Fest, Toronto.
