Good Beer and Autumn Wine Festivals on Tap for Fall
Festivals Return to Salisbury’s Pemberton Park on Back-To-Back Weekends in October
With summer fading and fall right around the corner, minds are turning to the anticipation of cooler weather, leaves changing color, pumpkin carving and of course, Wicomico County’s fall festivals. The Good Beer Festival, Delmarva’s largest craft beer event will return to Salisbury, Maryland’s Pemberton Historical Park on October 11 & 12, followed by the Autumn Wine Festival on October 18 & 19. Early bird tickets and hotel packages for both festivals are on sale now.
The Good Beer Festival is first on tap offering festival-goers unlimited tastings of over 125 different American craft brews – no tasting tickets needed. A favorite from last year’s event, the Local Beer Garden will return, offering the chance to experience the flavor of Eastern Shore breweries. Xtreme Brewing will host the Home Brewer’s Garden all weekend, featuring instructional sessions and the return of the Home Brew Competition on Sunday. In addition to great beer, the festival offers live music on two stages, the weekend’s biggest games in the Sports Zone, games, delicious food and craft and commercial vendors. Tickets are on sale now.
Purchase early and save! Early bird ticket sales for the Good Beer Festival end Friday, October 3 at 6 p.m.
The following weekend, the Eastern Shore welcomes its second fall staple – the Autumn Wine Festival. In partnership with the Maryland Wineries Association, the festival offers the perfect opportunity to explore a variety of Maryland wine from one location. Over 20 wineries are anticipated this year, offering unlimited samplings – again, no tasting tickets needed. Those interested in a more intimate experience can upgrade their tickets to receive the VIP treatment on Saturday. The VIP experience offers a covered tent area, reserved parking, private restroom facilities, a television lounge area, hors d’oeuvres, wine tastings, festival t-shirt and gift bag. (A limited amount of VIP tickets are available for $55 per person, advance sales only.) Wine connoisseurs and first time samplers alike enjoy the annual festival, which also features live music, the weekend’s biggest games in the Sports Zone, regional cuisine and craft and commercial vendors. Tickets are on sale now.

Both festivals are hosted at Pemberton Historical Park in Salisbury, Maryland. Just off a clam shell road on the western side of Wicomico County, the park’s rural backdrop boasts sprawling meadows lined with trees of vibrant orange, red and yellow. Pemberton’s 207 acres are highlighted by a charming 18th century plantation home.
