The City of Quinte West has unveiled the line-up of breweries, food vendors and entertainment for the Hops on the Water Craft Beer Festival Finale. The festival will take place for the last time on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Front Street Farmers’ Market Pavilion in downtown Trenton.
This year’s festival finale promises an afternoon full of local flavour and live entertainment, featuring:
Craft breweries and beverage makers from across the region, including Meyers Creek Brewing Company, Prince Eddy’s Brewing Co., MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co., and more.
Delicious local food vendors offering everything from savoury and sweet festival favourites to unique sweet bites, including Barbacoa Boyz, Hogg Food Co., and more.
Live music all day, headlined by Mystic Highway, a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute band, from 4-6 p.m.
The full brewery, vendor and entertainment line-up is available now at quintewest.ca/hops.
“The Hops Finale is a true toast to the community and the incredible local talent and artisans we’ve had the privilege to showcase over the past decade,” said Colleen Vickers, Special Events Coordinator. “With this year’s line-up, we’re celebrating Hops on the Water with great beer, great food and great memories.”
Festival admission is $10 at the gate, taxes included. Attendees are reminded that this is a cashless event, and advanced tickets will not be available this year. Entry is first-come, first-admitted, and the first 1,500 event-goers will receive a commemorative Hops on the Water mug from past festivals.
Tokens for food and beverage samples are available on-site for $2.50 each, with a maximum purchase of 10 tokens at a time.
