The story
About this festival.
Water Park Beer & Wine Festival is a free-entry afternoon at Water Park in Arlington, Virginia, on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 1 to 5 PM, where local Virginia breweries and vineyards pour in the park alongside live music, lawn games, a photo booth and festival merchandise. The 2026 event is the third annual. All ages are welcome in the park; drink tickets are sold one per pour to guests 21 and over, who are wristbanded after an ID check.
Reserving a spot in advance earns a complimentary drink ticket at the door. Water Park is the landscaped plaza at 1601 Crystal Drive in Crystal City, a few minutes' walk from the Crystal City Metro station and Amazon's HQ2 campus, so it is one of the few wine-pouring events in the D.C. area you can reach entirely by train.
