There's been a bit of change for GABS Festival's 2024 series. With the Melbourne leg forced to move due to issues with the Royal Exhibition Building, it means Sydney get to host the launch party.
They're heading back to the ICC in Darling Harbour, where they'll be showcasing 120 Festival Beers and hosting brewers, cocktails, whisky, wine and entertainment galore.
As well as a colourful lineup of live entertainment, there will be masterclasses, a silent disco, street food, games and heaps more.
You can check out the Festival Beers – and start planning what you want on your tasting paddles – here, and whet your appetite further by perusing the 60-plus producers who will have stands at the event here.
The festival takes place across three sessions on May 31 and June 1 with tickets available for individual sessions, as well as season passes and various discounts.
