Big. Bad. Bruegala

Bruegala is BACK, but this year it’s BIGGER and BADDER than before! A little ghost told us you’re missing "old Bruegala" so join us on Saturday, October 4, 2025, for a fun & frightful evening of family-friendly activities 3-6pm and spookier, adult fun from 6-9pm as we sip on bubbly brews from over 50 breweries & wineries, jam out to live music in the moonlight, and sink our teeth into food truck eats in Museum square, Downtown Bloomington, IL.

***More details coming soon!***

Hosted by the Bloomington-Normal Jaycees, Bruegala: A Festival of Beer is an annual community fundraiser, having raised over $275,000 for local organizations. The money raised at this event directly impacts the residents of Bloomington-Normal and surrounding areas!

We want to chat with you. If you’re interested in planning, volunteering, sponsorships, being a vendor, please email YnJ1ZWdhbGEgfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ==
