Brew York Festival

The Brew York Festival will return to Madison Barracks in Sackets Harbor for its ninth year on Saturday, Aug 23, from 11:30 am to 10 pm, celebrating outdoor music, craft beer, and artisan food. The theme for this year is “The Legacy Lives,” celebrating the life and honoring the legacy of Brew York Co-Founder Jason Price.

Amid the natural beauty of Lake Ontario and the iconic history of Madison Barracks, Brew York aims to provide the ultimate music festival atmosphere for the artists, fans, and community to enjoy. Each year, the festival includes bands performing a variety of genres, including Rock/Southern Rock, Alt Rock/Post Grunge, Country, Soul/Neo Soul, Folk Rock/Americana, Funk, and Dance.

In 2025, Brew York will again feature two stages to showcase the array of non-stop musical talent the organizers have lined up, including:

• Cousin Curtiss with Harrison B
• Quantum Cosmic featuring Annie in the Water’s Michael Lashomb
• Jounce featuring Danning Tamberelli
• Chestnut Grove
• Cowboy Killer
• The Jess Novak Band
• When We Were Thirty
• Quince & The New Paris
• Undefeated
• Josh Cox & The Rattle Snakes
• Edge & Babi Lou with the Basement Crew
• Desorder
• Rage Against the System

In between musical sets, attendees can participate in a variety of activities for adults and children. Kids can visit the Kids Zone with bounce houses, face painting, temporary tattoos, yard games, and more. Adults can enjoy free samples and tastings, from 12 to 3 pm, from more than 30 area breweries, wineries, and distilleries.

The music festival will also feature a Vendor Village and a Food Truck Row, so no one goes away hungry. Plus, new attractions this year include a mechanical bull ride, beer pong tables, live artists, a licensed tattoo artist (small work only), a spirits lounge and bar, a relaxation lounge, cornhole games, and a volleyball court.

For anyone who wants to splurge on the luxury festival experience, Brew York will have a VIP area available, complete with exclusive stage viewing areas, a cigar lounge, covered tent and seating areas, VIP air conditioned bathrooms, snacks, drinks, meet & greets, and more.
