What Else To Do

Because you have decided to stay and make a weekend of it, there are plenty of things to keep you entertained. Different breweries will be doing beer themed events throughout the weekend. There are pairing dinners, brewer's nights, and tastings at the different pubs and restaurants in town. 

Transportation

The easiest way to see the island is by having a personal car which can be driven on island via the ferry. If you don't want to bring your own car there are taxis and rental vehicles available. There will be transit from Rosario Village and the festival on Saturday. See schedule here.  

Getting Here

Located on Orcas Island, you'll arrive by sea or air. Washington State Ferries serves the island with multiple sailings each day. We highly suggest you take advantage of the three-day weekend and make a holiday of it! We have events all weekend! 

 

To make a ferry reservation, go to Washington State Ferries. For those wanting a true adventure, San Juan Airlines and Kenmore Air both fly into Eastsound on Orcas from several locations on the mainland, including directly from Bellingham and  Seattle.​​​​

Who Benefits

This festival started with the intention to bring commerce to the businesses of Orcas Island before the winter sets in. The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce is the main beneficiary of the proceeds. But honestly everyone benefits, because who doesn't love a beerfest?​

Where To Stay

Orcas has several inns, hotels, and resorts that you and your group can stay in. In Eastsound within walking distance of the event is The Outlook Inn.
