Wanderland Festival Debuts in Maryland, Offering a Unique Craft Beverage Experience
The inaugural Wanderland festival in Maryland combines craft beverages, live music, and artisanal goods in an immersive outdoor setting, highlighting the state's rich craft culture.
The Brewers Association of Maryland, in collaboration with the Hops & Harvest Festival, is set to launch Wanderland, a distinctive craft beverage festival on October 4, 2025, at Symphony Woods in Columbia, Maryland. This event promises a unique blend of tastings, live music, and artisan vendors, creating an immersive experience that celebrates Maryland's craft beverage scene.
Wanderland distinguishes itself from traditional tasting festivals by offering a sensory journey through Maryland's craft beverage landscape. Attendees can expect curated tastings from local producers, live performances by regional and national artists, and themed areas that showcase the state's diverse regions. The festival also caters to families with kid-friendly zones and various ticket options to suit all attendees.
Kelly Dudeck, Executive Director at the Brewers Association of Maryland, emphasizes the festival's focus on exploration and connection. "Wanderland is a celebration of exploration," Dudeck said. "We’ve created an event that invites people to slow down, sip with intention, and connect to Maryland’s makers and culture in a completely new way."
With limited capacity to ensure an intimate atmosphere, Wanderland offers something for everyone, from craft connoisseurs to curious explorers. Tickets for this one-of-a-kind event are available at www.wanderlandmd.com.
This festival not only highlights the growing popularity of craft beverages in Maryland but also supports local producers and artists, contributing to the state's economy and cultural landscape. Wanderland represents a new chapter in Maryland's festival scene, offering an innovative way to experience the state's craft beverage culture.
