Signature event for San Diego celebrates 10 Years
The San Diego Spirits Festival, San Diego’s premier celebration of liquor and cocktails, is back for its tenth year of unforgettable summertime indulgence. Thousands of spirits enthusiasts of all stripes will descend upon San Diego’s gorgeous Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier August 25-26, 2018, to enjoy two rollicking days of bountiful booze, killer cocktails, top-notch food, and sizzling entertainment.
Since its launch 10 years ago, the San Diego Spirits Festival has given its guests unrivaled access to experience the market’s finest spirits, from big-name brands you know to small-batch distilleries you need to know about. 2018 is poised to be its biggest year yet. Set against the breezy back drop of the inimitable San Diego Bay, the two-day gathering will feature an endless parade of limitless cocktail creations and spirit sips featuring some of the industry’s hottest labels. These divine drinks will be accompanied by a delicious array of culinary delights and an eclectic blend of entertainment, making this event the summer shindig you won’t want to miss.
In between sips and savory moments, you’ll get to hear the stories behind your favorite brands to further immerse yourself into the “spirit” of the festival. You’ll also take a deep dive into the world of mixology through bartender competitions, grand tastings, and mini-seminars. Live music and risqué entertainment keep the good times going even when you’re not raising a glass. You may even spot a celebrity or two if you’re lucky. Add it all up, and you have a festival that’s a must for industry pros, cocktail enthusiasts, and casual liquor lovers to attend.
