Hoppy Valley Brewers Fest Returns for 3rd Year in New Location

A craft beverage festival is returning to the State College area for its third year with a new location and an expanded variety of offerings.

The Hoppy Valley Brewers Fest will be held on Sunday, May 24, at Penn State’s Panzer Stadium, home of the Nittany Lion lacrosse teams, the Happy Valley Sports & Entertainment Alliance wrote in a release on Tuesday. Hours will be 1 to 6 p.m. for VIP ticket holders and 2 to 6 p.m. for general admission.

The festival previously was held at Beaver Stadium for its inaugural edition in May 2024 then moved to the Porter North lot next to Medlar Field at Lubrano Park in July 2025 because of stadium construction.
