The Bay Area Craft Beer Festival in downtown Martinez began in 2010 to highlight the art and flavor of craft beer in Martinez and surrounding communities. Produced by Main Street Martinez, the festival draws 3,000 people to enjoy beer from over 35 microbreweries, live music, and food from local restaurants. This year, the event will be held at Waterfront Park on North Court St., a short walking distance from the Martinez Amtrak Station and free downtown parking. Event is 21 years and older only. No Pets. No outside alcohol. No Refunds. No Backpacks. We hope you will join us and be part of this fun event! While you're here we invite you to discover downtown Martinez, and the shops and restaurants.
