Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the fest?
Find us at 150 W. Parkside Ave. in Lombard, IL — just north of Lilacia Park, between Main Street and the Metra UP West Line. For navigation, type 150 S. Parkside Ave., Lombard, IL into your maps, then walk north around the corner and you'll find us right there.
Pro Tip: skip the car. Take the Metra UP West Line straight into Lombard and you'll arrive right at the festival grounds.
If you're driving, we're easy to reach from most of Chicagoland — about 20 miles west of the city via I-290, I-294, or I-88.

Are pets allowed?
We love animals more than most things in this world, but the Fest is a no-pets event. Please leave your four-legged pals at home — but tell them we said hi and we're sorry.
Do you have a designated driver ticket?
Yes! Check out the ticket sales page for more info.
Who does the event benefit?
Every ticket, every pint, every moment of fun at the Lombard Brew Fest adds up to something bigger. Proceeds benefit the Lombard Junior Women's Club Philanthropic Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to strengthening our community from the ground up — awarding local scholarships, supporting families in need, investing in youth programs, and showing up for Lombard through hands-on community service. When you raise a glass at the Fest, you're raising up the community around you.

What happens if there's bad weather?
We're a rain or shine event. If the weather needs a little convincing, we may delay the start by an hour or two rather than cancel — we'll exhaust every option before pulling the plug. Keep an eye on the website for updates leading up to the event. Please be aware that tickets are non-refundable in the event of a cancellation.
Will there be food available?
We'll have food trucks and local restaurant vendors present onsite selling their most popular items. Come hungry!
