Banff Craft Beer Week, Nov 20 – 29, 2020
Banff Craft Beer Week is a new style of festival taking place from November 20th until November 29th 2020 in Banff, Alberta. Craft beer! Banff! Craft beer in Banff! Plus food, cheap hotel stays, and fewer tourists! This is exciting. There’s no tickets this time, instead there are lots of deals lined up at local Banff businesses for you to take advantage of. Alberta Beer Festivals has created a 2020 festival in Banff that not only connects everyone with discounted food, drinks and hotel stays, but it’s done with COVID-19 health and safety precautions as a top priority. We can’t all gather in a big beautiful space to enjoy food, drinks and discussion like like we used to, but with some workarounds in place it can still be done safely, and responsibly. Going to be fun!
To celebrate Banff Craft Beer Week, we’re going to give away an awesome prize pack to someone who will absolutely have the best time ever in Banff. Lots of ways you can win!

Whether you live in town or you’re able to drop by from the 20th till the 29th, you can experience some of the best Banff has to offer and only saving some money but also supporting businesses which have been hit pretty hard by the lack of tourism from the United States and elsewhere. Lots to see/eat/do! #BanffBeerWeek

Conclusion
Banff is always a good time anytime of year. It’s such a beautiful place and full of magic and wonder and food and beer, plus there’s lots of things to see and do. It’s the perfect setting for a festival of this kind too, with lots of amazing venues in a small area, couldn’t ask for a better location. Other than taking part in the festival, I recommend heading up the Banff Gondola, going to the rock and gem store, checking out the thrift stores, checking out the hotels, going for lots of walks and of course – taking a million pictures.
Prost!
