More beer, more music and more downtown blocks to explore
Downtown Tucson will again fill with craft beer fans on Saturday, Feb. 28, when the annual Tucson Craft Beer Crawl invites attendees to move at their own pace among breweries, bars and venues across the city center. Organizers say this year’s edition includes an expanded route, increased pours and additional live music throughout the afternoon.
The crawl runs from 1 to 6 p.m.. Participants begin by checking in at a central hub and then are free to visit venues in any order. Advance tickets remain available while supplies last through the event’s ticket page.
Participants can check in at CORBETT’S Brandylion at Presidio San Agustín del Tucsón Museum.
Organizers emphasized two headline changes for 2026: double the beer pours compared with prior years — giving attendees more variety and the opportunity to sample later into the event — and an expanded food and music lineup across the crawl route.

What Tucson residents should know
Tickets are limited and may sell out; Tucson Foodie members were offered a discount in the organizers’ release. The event’s layout concentrates many stops downtown, so attendees should plan for walking between locations and consider designated driver options. Organizers have also expanded food offerings to pair with the wider range of beer pours.
For downtown businesses and hospitality workers, the crawl is another busy afternoon that can drive foot traffic and sales in late winter. For attendees, it’s an easy way to sample a cross section of Tucson’s brewing scene — from homegrown taprooms to regional partners — while enjoying live music and expanded food options.
Details including the full list of participating venues, ticketing and check-in procedures are posted on the event’s ticket page. As always, responsible consumption and planning for safe travel home are encouraged.
