The story
About this festival.
Long Island City Beer Wine and Spirits Fest is a single-session tasting festival on the Culture Lab LIC waterfront lot in Queens, New York, on Saturday, September 19, 2026, produced by Fest Productions. One $70 admission covers a souvenir sample glass and unlimited samples of the beer, wine and spirits on offer, with live music, food for purchase and games during the session. A designated-driver ticket is $15 and comes with a different wristband; anyone seen drinking on it is removed.
The rules are firm: 21 and over only with photo ID, no children, strollers or pets, no knapsacks or large bags, no outside food or drink, and no re-entry once you leave. Tickets are non-refundable. Culture Lab LIC sits on the East River waterfront in Long Island City, a few blocks from the Vernon Blvd-Jackson Av stop on the 7 train, which makes transit the sensible way in.
