Can’t wait for the beer fest season to kick in? Get your tickets for the Philly Craft Beer Festival, back for a seventh year of suds and fun at the Navy Yard in South Philadelphia. A fundraiser for cancer nonprofit The Committee to Benefit the Children, the event takes place all afternoon on Sunday, March 3.

Your regular admission ticket ($46 in advance) brings you access from 1:30–5 PM to the tented outdoor show. You’ll get a souvenir glass so you can enjoy all-you-can-drink tastings from nearly 50 breweries from the local area and around the country.

Food trucks will be on site so you can buy sustenance to make it through even more beers, including Chewys, Say Cheese, Just Jackie’s, Lil Dan’s Gourmet, Pitruco Pizza, Vernalicious and The Cow and the Curd.

Spring for the VIP session ($75 in advance) to get in an hour early at 12:30 PM and enjoy a special session of chatting one-on-one with brewers. You’ll also get a chance to taste special beers reserved for the VIP ticket holders only.

This event was selected by Forbes Traveler as one of the top 10 beer fests in America, so you know it’s going to be fun. The Philly Craft Beer Festival will take place rain or shine.
