The countdown is on! Brewgaloo 2025 kicks off on April 25 with a Friday Block Party (6-10 PM). Expect barrel-aged brews, sour beers, and all kinds of rare sips you can’t find anywhere else. Then, on Saturday, April 26, the whole of Fayetteville Street turns into a beer-lover’s paradise from 12-8 PM. Over 110 NC breweries, food trucks, and vendors will fill the streets with flavors to savor. Oh, and live music to dance to.

Online ticket prices for April 25 are $45 from now until April 24. For April 26, they’re $25 until March 1, $30 from March 2-April 16, and $35 from April 17-25. Get your them now!
