The King and Queen of the Brew competition is a highlight of the festival.

The coronation is a fun, spirited celebration of their efforts and a reminder of the festival’s mission: supporting arts and culture in our community.
Beyond beer and music, you can shop local crafts curated by the Louisiana Crafts Guild, bring the kids to the Family Fun Zone, and stick around for the After Party at Legends Downtown with DJ Digital and DJ RV (no cover).
Every ticket directly supports the Acadiana Center for the Arts. Grab your friends, tap into a good day, and join us at Gulf Brew 2025!
