The Riverside Craft Beer Festival is Jacksonville's signature craft beer event, held each February at the Riverside Arts Market underneath the Fuller Warren Bridge along the St. Johns River. Now in its twelfth year as of 2026, the festival is hosted by the Rotary Club of Riverside Jacksonville and has raised over $683,000 for the Community PedsCare program, which provides pediatric palliative and hospice care to children and families in Northeast Florida. The 2026 edition takes place on Sunday, February 22, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM for general admission, with VIP entry at noon. Ticket prices follow a tiered schedule: $45 through January 14, $50 through February 14, and $55 through event day. VIP tickets are $80 and include early access plus the exclusive Fridge VIP area with special beers, seating, and private restrooms.
The Riverside Craft Beer Festival launched in 2015 as a fundraiser by the Rotary Club of Riverside Jacksonville, tied from the beginning to Community PedsCare, a program that provides palliative and hospice care to children and their families in Northeast Florida. The festival found its home at the Riverside Arts Market, a popular open-air venue underneath the Fuller Warren Bridge offering a scenic backdrop along the St. Johns River.
Over twelve years, the festival has grown from a modest neighborhood gathering into one of Jacksonville's most anticipated annual events, raising over $683,000 for Community PedsCare. The event draws approximately 2,500 attendees each year, sampling from a lineup of over 100 craft beers and ciders while enjoying food from Jacksonville's top food trucks. The VIP experience — known as "The Fridge" — has become a sought-after upgrade, and the February date has become a beloved tradition kicking off Jacksonville's outdoor event season.
