This Saturday, November 16, Plaza Antonio Mijares will be the setting for the first edition of the Oktober Fest in San José del Cabo. This event, dedicated to craft beer, seeks to promote and give visibility to local products, providing a cultural and family experience that celebrates the creativity of South Californian brewers.

In a press conference, Ana Gabriela Navarro, municipal director of Tourism, and Nicolás Pérez, co-organizer of the event, highlighted the change of venue for this festival, which had previously been held in the parking lot of the Cultural Pavilion in Cabo San Lucas. For this edition in Plaza Mijares, an attendance of up to three thousand people is expected, with free admission until 10:00 p.m.

“It is a festival designed for people to learn about the styles and flavors that craft beer offers. “It is not an event of excessive consumption, but rather an experience to enjoy with the family and to support the growth of local breweries,” said Pérez.

The festival will feature the participation of six local breweries and eight restaurants, including prominent brands such as Baja Brewing, Yenekamu Brewing, and Cervecería Sierra de la Laguna, among others. Each brewery will offer between four and five styles of beer, with prices around 100 pesos.

Currently, Baja California Sur has more than 30 breweries, concentrated mainly in La Paz, but also present in Mulegé, Loreto, and Los Cabos, where it is expected that events like this will boost the consumption and production of craft beer in the region.
