COVID Requirements: Everyone attending the festival must be vaccinated. Per CDC Guidelines, fully vaccinated means a person has received their primary series of COVID-19 vaccines. Boosters are not required for this event. Everyone entering the festival grounds including ticketed guests, volunteers, entertainers, and staff will need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
Accepted proof of vaccination: Status includes digital vaccine cards such as Clear Health Pass and Safe Travels or a paper CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card along with a photo ID.
Due to gathering limitations associated with Covid-19 guidelines, this year’s Festival will be a scaled down and less interactive event with 500 vaccinated guests. It will take place March 12, 2022 from 4:00-7:00pm on the Luau Grounds of the Courtyard King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel. Local brewers and island chefs will be the primary focus. Combine that with live music and Pacifica fashion; what’s not to love?

We are also in discussions with area businesses to decentralize the Festival into mini BrewFests. We’ll post info here when we’re ready to announce BrewFest partners. This new format allows us to hold the dates, maintain our community relationships, cover minimal annual overhead costs and keeps alive the KBF values of celebration and collaboration so we can return strong and stable in March 2023. This way, the whole of Kailua Village and beyond can celebrate community and collaboration in a safe way as we strive to get past this pandemic.
We’ll keep you posted on these efforts as they develop. Mahalo for your continuing support.
