Canby Brewfest Celebrates Award And Sell-Out Success In Its Inaugural Year (Photo) -03/07/24

Canby, OR – March 7, 2024 – In a remarkable debut, the 2023 Canby Brewfest not only earned the title of Festival of the Year for budgets under $150,000 from the Oregon Festivals and Events Association but also achieved a sell-out event in its first year. This dual success underscores the festival's immediate impact and resonance within the community, and its significant contribution to the Clackamas County Fair Improvement Foundation through fundraising efforts.

The 2023 Canby Brewfest, reimagined from a previous wine, food, and beer event, featured an impressive array of 80 brews on tap, lively live music, and a series of enticing raffle prizes. Its instant popularity and the full attendance it garnered is a testament to the event's unique appeal and the team's hard work in creating a memorable experience for beer enthusiasts and community members alike.

"We are immensely grateful for the overwhelming support and enthusiasm we received from the community, leading to a sold-out debut," said Brian Crow, Executive Director of the Clackamas County Event Center. "This achievement, coupled with the honor bestowed upon us by the Oregon Festivals and Events Association, fuels our commitment to making the Canby Brewfest an iconic event in Oregon’s festival calendar."

Significant contributions from partners were pivotal to the festival’s success. Oregon Beverage Services, awarded the Service Member of the Year by the Oregon Festivals and Events Association, played a crucial role in the event. Additionally, the standout music provided by J-Fell Presents, including headline acts, greatly enhanced the festival's vibrant atmosphere.

As preparations for the 2024 Canby Brewfest on May 10th and 11th are underway, staff at the Clackamas County Event Center are working diligently on this year’s festival. With an aim to replicate and surpass the success of the previous year, the upcoming festival is set to feature an even more diverse selection of breweries and entertainment. Tickets for the 2024 event are already available at clackamascountyfair.com, promising another potentially sold-out experience.

"We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners, participants, and attendees for making the Canby Brewfest a phenomenal success. We eagerly invite everyone to be part of the next chapter of our festival in 2024," added Crow.
