Palermo is preparing for four days of celebration, aromas, and excitement—in every sense of the word. From June 11 to 14, 2026, the tenth edition of Beer Bubbles, the international festival dedicated to craft beers, returns to its roots this year, choosing Piazza Politeama, one of the city's most iconic and popular urban spaces, as its backdrop.
A symbolic return, celebrating ten years of growth, community, and brewing culture.
Over 250 craft beers: a journey through taste
Beer Bubbles 2026 promises record numbers: more than 250 beers on tap, selected from among the finest Italian and international brands. Each stand will be managed directly by master brewers, ready to share the ingredients, techniques, and stories behind every sip.
For those who love beer — and for those who want to discover it — it is a unique opportunity to:
- Taste different styles, from IPAs to sours, from lagers to stouts
- learn about emerging businesses and historic breweries
- take part in a real sensory journey immersed in the city centre
Street food, workshops, and music: a festival that brings the city to life.
Beer Bubbles isn't just about beer: it's an event that combines food, culture, and entertainment.
The program includes:
- tasting workshops led by experts
- cooking show con chef locali
- talk e conferenze sull’evoluzione della birra artigianale
- DJ sets and live performances ogni sera
A mix that transforms Piazza Politeama into a large, open, and shared urban living room.
