The live experience
What reaches the room
Since its inception in Seattle in 2005, the Great Pumpkin Beer Festival (GPBF) has grown into one of the Northwest’s largest fall beer events. Known for its seasonal pumpkin ales, live music, and community spirit, GPBF brings beer lovers together for a one-of-a-kind autumn experience. The 21st edition takes place October 3–4, 2025, at Elysian Capitol Hill Brewery in Seattle, giving attendees a chance to sample 60+ pumpkin and seasonal beers, enjoy food options, cheer on a pumpkin-pie-eating contest, and witness the giant pumpkin keg tapping tradition. All events are 21+, and tickets tend to sell out, so secure your seats early through Gold Coast Tickets.
