Beerhurst-at-Deerhurst is back for its 6th annual celebration, and in 2026 the beloved festival is turning up the energy with an all-new Draft Weekend theme. Taking place March 6–8, 2026, Deerhurst Resort will once again transform into Muskoka’s ultimate winter gathering for craft beer fans, live music lovers, and groups of friends looking for a high-energy weekend escape. This year’s Draft Weekend theme brings stadium-style spirit to the resort, inviting guests to rep their favourite team jerseys, rally their crew, and immerse themselves in a fan-fuelled atmosphere inspired by game day traditions. From craft beer tastings to signature winter experiences and a headline concert on Saturday night, Beerhurst blends Ontario’s craft culture with the excitement of live entertainment and après-style fun.
Festivities kick off Friday night with a Welcome Party that eases guests into the weekend with live entertainment and fan-zone energy. The momentum builds Saturday afternoon with the return of the always-popular Beer Skate—an unmistakably Canadian experience that sees guests lacing up on Deerhurst’s refrigerated rink before warming up in a lively après-skate atmosphere. That energy carries into Saturday night with the Beerhurst Craft Beer Festival, where festival food, brewer meet-and-greets, and live entertainment set the stage for the weekend’s main event.
Sampling from a growing roster of Ontario breweries takes centre stage during the Saturday night festival, featuring Trestle Brewing Company, Quayle’s Brewery, Thornbury Craft Co., Blue Mountain Brewing Co., Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery, and Boshkung Brewing Co., with more to be announced. A buzzing crowd, bold flavours, and shared moments create the perfect lead-in to the night’s headline performance.
Capping off Saturday night, The Blue Stones take the stage with a high-energy live concert that defines the Beerhurst experience. Known for their electrifying performances, the band delivers a powerful rock soundtrack to a weekend built on great beer, great music, and even better company.
Guests can take advantage of the Two-Night Draft Weekend Package, which includes
accommodations, (2) Brews & Bites tasting tickets per adult, a souvenir sampling glass, access to the Friday Welcome Party, Saturday Beer Skate, full festival admission, and the Saturday night concert.
Whether you come for the craft beer, the live music, or the game-day atmosphere,
Beerhurst-at-Deerhurst delivers a winter festival experience unlike anything else in Muskoka.
