Raise a Stein—Yorktoberfest Returns to Yorktown This October

If your perfect fall day includes crisp cider, live music, and river views, then mark your calendar for Yorktoberfest. It’s happening Sunday, October 26, 2025, from noon to 5:30 p.m. at Riverwalk Landing in Yorktown—and yes, it’s just as fun as it sounds.

With over 40 beers, ciders, and local pours from across Coastal Virginia, Yorktoberfest brings unlimited tastings with your ticket. Whether you're into smooth lagers, bold IPAs, or apple ciders that taste like fall in a glass, there’s something for everyone.

But don’t let the name fool you—it’s more than just beer. Yorktoberfest also features:
🎶 Live music to keep the vibe high all afternoon
🍺 Beer education classes covering styles, brewing, and pairings
🌮 Food vendors serving everything from festival snacks to full meals
⛺️ Tented setup so the fun doesn’t stop, rain or shine

Set against the waterfront charm of Riverwalk Landing, the setting is half the experience. It’s got that cozy, small-town feel with views that make every sip feel like a celebration. And thanks to the Yorktown Trolley running from 11 a.m., getting there and around is a breeze.

The York County Chamber of Commerce hosts this annual event, so when you attend, you're not just treating yourself—you’re supporting the local economy and the amazing small businesses that make our region thrive.

For locals living in Williamsburg, Newport News, Poquoson, or Toano, this is the kind of easy weekend outing that makes fall feel extra festive. And for military families stationed at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, or Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, it’s a great way to connect with the community while soaking in all the local flavor.

So grab your friends, throw on a cozy flannel, and come raise a glass. Yorktoberfest is back, and it’s everything we love about fall—beer, bites, music, and waterfront views.
