Hard ciders, Idaho wines and ready to drink cocktails with lower alcohol content than spirits and some beers will join more than 40 craft breweries at the 11th annual Sun Valley Brewfest on Saturday.

The event organized by the Rotary Club will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 21, at Ketchum Town Square.

Proceeds will go to scholarships for local students. The Rotary Club has given away $1 million in scholarships and other gifts to the community since it started the Brewfest, said Ed Sinnott. Last year the Club gave out twenty $1,000 scholarships to youth.

Vendors will include Sockeye Brewing, Monaco, Surfside, Mixed-Up Cocktail Co., Spindrift Spiked, Farmers Brewing Company, Roadhouse Brewing Co., Bombastic Brewing and Holesinsky Vineyard and Winery.

There’ll be line dancing with Pamela Ann at 3 p.m. and live music by DJ John Valenzuela. KB’s, Wood Fire Pizza & Grill, Shave Ice Sun Valley and Joe’s Juice LLC will have bites on hand.

Brewfest tickets cost $30, available online at https://sunvalleybrewfest.com/

Additionally, there will be free passes for law enforcement officers and professional firefighters to honor what they do, said Sinnott.

The public is invited to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a 2025-26 Sun Valley season pass valued at $2,500. There are only 200 raffle tickets available. The winner will be announced on the day of the Brewfest. One need not be present to win.

Raffle tickets are $50 each, available at https://sunvalleybrewfest.com/store/. Or, buy a Brewfest Package that includes one raffle ticket and two Brewfest tickets for $100.
