Freemantle’s BeerFest will be held from Friday 15 November to Sunday 17 November and is welcoming Australian musicians including Sneaky Sound System and Emily Joy and boutique vineyards, brewers, cideries, distillers, cheesemongers and food producers. An array of activities will be on offer, including Beer Yoga.
BeerFest Australia events support more than 30 homegrown musicians and bands. Freemantle’s BeerFest line-up will see Sneaky Sound System, Emily Joy, Sgt. Hulka, Michael Ward Trio and Cappuccino Orchestra.
“We’re pumped to be hitting the stage at four BeerFests across Australia this summer. With the ongoing challenges facing live music, particularly the festival scene, we’re more excited than ever to celebrate good times in the great outdoors,” said Sneaky Sound System.
A mix of more than 65 of Australia’s finest boutique vineyards, brewers, cideries, distillers, cheesemongers and food producers will share their products at Fremantle BeerFest.

“BeerFest Australia’s mission is to create vibrant, inclusive, and slightly rebellious festivals that celebrate the best of Australian craft, culture, and community,” said BeerFest Australia co-director, James Harding.
“In every glass, every bite of local produce, and in every note of live music, there is a story – a story of passion, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence. BeerFest exists to tell these stories. We champion the artisans, the musicians, the comedians, and the creators who make our regions unique and bring communities together in celebration, push boundaries, and redefine what a festival can be,” added Harding.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate both our heritage and the vibrant craft beer scene in Western Australia. Little Creatures will be pouring fresh beer from our vibrant container bar, including our West Coast Pilsner, brewed just for the festival. As Little Creatures approaches its 25th anniversary in 2025, we’re proud to be the Presenting Partner of Fremantle Beer Festival since 2013 and into the future,” said Tania Lambson, Little Creatures.
