14th Annual Sanford Pints n’ Paws Craft Beer Festival

 The 14th Annual Sanford Pints n’ Paws Craft Beer Festival returns to Historic Downtown Sanford on Saturday, March 28, 2026, continuing a beloved tradition that pups, and their humans, look forward to year after year! 

As Historic Downtown Sanford’s longest-running event, Pints N’ Paws has raised over $900,000 for local pet rescue charities since it began! That’s a whole lot of wagging tails, happy endings, and very good dogs helped along the way! 

 This year’s winning Poster Pup, Bokey, is leading the pack and reminding everyone why this festival means so much to the dog-loving community! 

The festival is FREE TO ATTEND and takes over the iconic L between West End Trading Co. and Celery City Craft. Expect a fun afternoon filled with live music, local vendors, food trucks, and a dog-friendly street party your pup will absolutely approve of!

 The ticketed portion of the event is for the beer sampling element of the event! Beer lovers can purchase a wristband for unlimited craft beer sampling from Noon–4PM with wristband distribution beginning at 11AM! 

Wristband Pricing:
 General Admission Sampling: $50 Advance, $60 Day of Event
 VIP Sampling: $100 Advance, $110 Day of Event

 VIP wristbands include access to the air-conditioned VIP lounge, a limited-edition t-shirt, pint glass, koozie, snacks, appetizers, and a full bar. VIP quantities are limited, so don’t wait! 

 Must be 21+ to participate in beer sampling. This event is all ages, rain or shine.

 Come sip, stroll, and support a cause that’s truly paws-itive!
