2025 Festival of Darkness

As always, Festival of Darkness is the most epic zombie apocalypse-themed party around, but this year we have a subtheme that's sure to be a real wing-dinger: The Wild West. From Clint Deadwood to R.I.P. Wheeler to Nightwalker Texas Ranger, the costumes this year are sure to be buckin'.

Join Lost Forty Brewing on October 25th as a horde of undead outlaws invade the brewery for a celebration of dark beer, alongside over 30 local and regional breweries and distilleries pouring samples of their selections in our beer garden of darkness, stilt-walking and fire-breathing circus artists, live music from DJ AJ, Bad Habit, and Rhinestone Revival, cash prizes for best costumes, and plenty of food and beer.

Breweries interested in participating in this year's festival should visit thefestivalofdarkness.com and click "brewery application." Applications must be submitted by September 1st.
