A beer festival featuring over 50 different beers is coming to Long Island City at the beginning of October.

LIC Flea & Food’s fourth annual Queens Beer Festival takes place on Oct. 5 and 6 at 5-25 46th Ave., a site located by Anable Basin.

The festival, which is the largest beer festival in Queens, runs from noon until 5:30 p.m. on each day and there will be two sessions on either day. Sessions run from noon until 2:30 p.m., and from 3 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.

The event features a wide variety of beers from around 25 local breweries. The majority of the beers are from the ever-expanding group of Queens-based breweries, along with a small selection of beers from Long Island, Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Some of the breweries set to feature at the festival include Blue Point Brewery, LIC Beer Project, Brooklyn Brewery, Big aLICe and Montauk Brewing Company among many others.

The beer festival was first launched in 2016 and over 2,000 people have attended it each year. This year’s festival will also feature a live DJ.

Tickets to the festival include unlimited free samples and a souvenir mug. Tickets start at $39 for an individual session and $79 for a full day ticket which also allows holders to enter the festival half an hour early.

Attendees can also visit the flea and food market that will be running at the same time as the beer festival. Tickets are not required to enter the market and food is not included in the beer festival tickets.

Very cute teeny tiny beer mugs in that picture. I guess better than giving out thousands of those red plastic cups that the frat boys love. Is there an option to bring your own mug?
Looks like a fun event but as another post said, perhaps a 45-60 minute set of live music mixed in with the DJ sets over the course of each 2 1/2 hour session would make it even better.

Theyre are so many great bands in Astoria/LIC that would love this gig. Does it have to be a DJ?

Can Queens’ food scene thrive with both trucks and restaurants?

Aug. 19, 2025 By Jessica Militello

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
