Make plans for Saturday, March 29th, 2014 to attend the 2nd Annual Boulder City Beerfest being held at Wilbur Square Park in the heart of historic Boulder City, Nevada. This is a well known location that has many large special events during the year. This year's "BCBF" is planned for 1500 beer lovers and guests to enjoy great beers from 20+ brewery tents, menu items from 5 food trucks, and 10 specialty vendors all on site to make this a fantastic day! Once again, the Boulder Dam Brewing Company is the official host brewery! The BCBF will run from 1pm until 7pm. At the Admission Tent you'll receive an ID wristband and BCBF souvenir glass for unlimited samples of all the great beers available! The event is open to the public to visit the vendor tents and food trucks, but you must be at least 21 years old with the official wristband and glass to enjoy the beers. Like us on our Facebook page to keep up on the latest information for this year's festival! Our goal is to produce another first rate beer festival in Nevada on the calendar of events that happen in Boulder City! We also want to help raise funds for a worthy organization whose efforts benefit the overall community. Many come to mind, but the top of our list is the Wounded Warrior Project. This organization's mission is to Honor and Empower the severely injured service personnel of the United States Armed Forces. The "WWP" works to raise awareness and enlist public support for the needs of these men and women as they return to their families, and our civilian lifestyle.
Wilbur Square Park is the largest and most popular park in downtown Boulder City, Nevada. Located on Colorado Street and bordered by Nevada Way and Utah Street, Wilbur Square Park was established in the early 1930's in conjunction with the Boulder (Hoover) Dam project as a recreational area for construction workers and their families.
Above is the map showing the festival layout. The Beer tents are the Yellow squares, the Vendor tents are Green, and the Food trucks are Red. All festival attendees will need to get their ID wristbands and the BCBF souvenir glasses at the Admission tent, shown as the White rectangle in the middle of the park.
Many large events are held in the park annually so there's plenty of parking in the surrounding areas. This is considered Boulder City's central park and is very easy to find. From the Boulder Dam Brewery, the park is just around the corner!

All festival attendees with the official ID wristbands and the 5 ounce BCBF souvenir glasses will be ready to enjoy a variety of great beers until 7pm. Sample new seasonal brews, then find some old favorites at every beer tent in the park!
As we confirm brewery participants, we'll add their logos here so you can find them on the location map.
(There's plenty of room in the park for more tents, let us know who we should invite!)
5 of the valley's favorite food trucks will be at the top of the park ready to serve you their best menu options all day long. In the middle of the park, visit the 10 specialty vendors each bringing unique items to add to the fun of the festival!
As we confirm Food and Vendor participants, we'll add their logos here so you can find them on the location map.
Here are some things you can look forward to at the 2014 BCBF!
Specialty Vendors Tents..... 1 - 7pm
Get your glasses filled for some instant photos at the Fotobomb camera in front of the official BCBF backdrop! Have a cigar rolled for you by a professional from Vato Cigars. Watch the guys run the big rig screen press as they make custom BCBF T-shirts at the Mercy Clothing tent. Grab another beer then check out the rest of the other great vendor tents!
Brewing Demonstrations..... 1:30 - 6pm
Presented By: UNLV Beverage Instructor Jon Griffin, and also members of the Southern Nevada Ale Fermenters Union (better known as SNAFU!)
For those interested in home brewing, there will be 2 demonstrations of the beer making process in a tent up by the Food trucks. Starting at 1:30pm learn about the "all grain" brewing method while watching a lager and an ale style beer being brewed. Both demonstrations will last all afternoon, and be made using equipment that's easy to find for your future home brewing system!
