Kennett Collaborative announced Kennett Winterfest is just around the corner on February 22. Admission includes unlimited tastings from a lineup of more than 60 carefully selected craft breweries plus vendors, food trucks, live music, and more, sponsored by Wilkinson Farms and Wistar Motors.
New This Year: Non-Alcoholic Options
At Winterfest, both Regular Admission and NA ticket-holders may sample non-alcoholic beers from top brands like Athletic Brewing, Guinness, and Sierra Nevada in addition to the signature zero-proof mocktail provided by our designated driver sponsor, Chatham Financial.
The expanded options makes the NA Ticket the perfect option for those who prefer to skip the alcohol without missing out on the experience.
Craft Breweries
Kennett Winterfest will feature an impressive lineup showcasing a diverse range of craft beers, ciders, and meads from Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and beyond. Highlights include local favorites like Braeloch Brewing and Victory Brewing Company in Kennett Square; renowned names like Cape May Brewing (Cape May, NJ) and Big Oyster Brewing (Lewes, DE); and new-to-the-scene breweries like Animated Brewing (Coatesville, PA) and Space Cadet Beer (Philadelphia, PA).
Live Music & Entertainment
The event will feature live music performances by All the Living and the Dead, and It’s About the People bringing an Indie-Pop and American roots soundtrack to the celebration. Band of Media Brewers, a homebrew club will be joining with a live demonstration and information session, so if you want to learn the craft be sure to stop by their tent! Don’t miss the Wintefest

Mary Lou Baily, Event Coordinator, says:
“For 13 years, Kennett Winterfest has been a celebration of craft beer, community, and connection. This year, our volunteer committee is making it bigger and better with new experiences like the best ‘snacklace competition’ to go along with the ‘best dressed competition.’ Winterfest is about creating memories, welcoming everyone, and having fun together!”
Jack Lodge, from Chester County’s Brandywine Valley, says:
“This Winterfest marks the first anniversary of the Chester County Cheers Trail, which we at Chester County’s Brandywine Valley launched last Winterfest, and once again, we’ll be offering an extra 300 points toward trail merch at the festival. There’s so much to look forward to at every Brewfest and Winterfest, but this past year of fests and leading up to this Winterfest have been really special.”
Don’t miss your chance to be a part of the Winterfest 2025 experience. It’s the perfect way to spend a winter day with friends, family, and community—celebrating the best local breweries, food vendors, and live music in a vibrant atmosphere.
