TICKETS NOW ON SALE

SAVE THE DATE. We come to you after what was truly the year from hell with some exciting news - the date for 2021’s Festival of Darkness! Consider this your official invitation to this year's celebration in the Garden of Darkness on Saturday, October 23rd. Think of this as a Save the Date, as we're not sure what the world will look like in six months, but we're hopeful that we will be able to safely celebrate our annual release of Nighy Night Imperial Stout and invite some breweries to join us as we shut down the block and imbibe together once again.

If you've previously attended the Festival of Darkness, you know that it's a unique beer festival that celebrates the deliciousness of dark beer amongst hundreds of costumed zombies, live regionally and nationally recognized bands, magicians, video installations, stilt-walking ravens, food trucks, games, and more! Each year we donate festival proceeds to Recycle Bikes for Kids of Arkansas who provide bicycles to youth in need - we raised $4,000 in 2019 and hope to donate even more this year.

While vaccinations are rolling out and an eventual return to normalcy seems like a very real possibility, we're taking things slow to ensure the safety of our beer family. However, should you accept this invitation to the dark side, we’ll be updating you throughout the year with more information. As of now, our plan is to host breweries, both local and out of state, to pour beers in our Garden of Darkness. If your brewery is interested in joining us, you can register at thefestivalofdarkness.com.

Follow this event page for updates! Cheers, y'all.
