Mark your calendars for August 18th and 19th, 2023, and join us at Lions Park in Paris, ON, for a weekend packed with craft beverages, fantastic music, local food, and endless fun!
The heart of Paris Drinks Fest is our amazing lineup of local craft breweries and spirits! From refreshing Pilsners and hoppy IPAs to creative cocktails and crisp ciders, there's something to delight every taste bud. Each admission includes two drink tokens, and more can be snagged at the event for just $2 each. Redeem your tokens for 5oz beer/cider, 2oz wine, or a 0.5oz cocktail.
With a great selection of breweries and distilleries attending, I encourage you to try something new and perhaps discover your new favourite summer brew or drink.
Let’s break down a few vendors I have my eye on this year!
Wishbone Brewery: I can guarantee they will be pouring something for everyone at this tent. Their Mimosa Seltzer I have talked about, or perhaps their peach Gose will make an appearance When you are checking out their offerings be sure to wish them a Happy Birthday as the brewery just turned 2!

Meuse Brewing: Sip on farmhouse-style brews made with fresh local fruit and ingredients grown on their farm including a malting variety of barley to use in the production of their beers and don't skip their gold medalwinning saison!
Junction 56: Experience the magic of Junction 56 cocktails, known for their top-notch gin, vodka, and coffee liqueur be sure to swing by their station and see what they are crafting up!

Tiffany plans to try the Junction 56, Meuse Brewing and Wishbone Brewery tents at the Paris Drinks Fest. What do you have your eye on this summer?

The festivities don't stop at drinks so get ready to groove with incredible musical performances all weekend long!
Friday Headliner - The Trews: I've seen this Canadian rock band many of times and they never disappoint Full of energy and great tunes they know how to keep the crowd pumped up! I am excited to check out Trash Panda Brass as well on the Friday & Saturday! Originating from Toronto and debuting in 2022 I've got my money on them being a new favourite of mine!

Saturday Headliner - Joel Plaskett: With his blend of indie folk and rock, he is one of my fav east coast artists and I love the story telling element to his sets and music. Leading up to his set you can hear Wannabe, a spice girls cover band, Tynomi Banks and Sunshine Makers.

So, whether you are stoked to see one of the headliners or into discovering new music like I am the Full lineup and details on the artists can be found here

Well, Paris Drinks food lineup is just as stacked with offerings from Juniper Dining, Arlington Hotel, Poutine Supreme, Pabla’s Indian Street Food and if you are looking for dessert both Cheesecake on The Go and What’s the Scoop will be serving up the sweets!
