The Breckenridge Craft Spirits Festival is coming October 6-8, 2023. The highlight of the weekend is the Still on the Hill Grand Tasting, on Saturday, October 7 from 4-7pm at the Riverwalk Center, which will showcase the various products of our craft distillers. The public can meet the distillers, try the various spirits and vote for their favorite spirit. Many of the distillers make up cocktails featuring their spirits so that guests may experience how the products can be used. Guests will also enjoy munchies from local restaurants and bluegrass music by the Local Folk Band. Grand Tasting tickets are $70 in advance and $80 day of. Tickets include a tasting glass and entry to the Grand Tasting (must be 21 to enter, it is a no-pet event).
