The Hanover Township PBA Local 128 Food, Wine and Brew Festival returns to Bee Meadow Park in Whippany on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from noon to 6 p.m. The annual fundraiser fills the Brickyard Field with food trucks, craft beer and wine, live music, and family activities, and every ticket supports the officers of Hanover Township PBA Local 128.
What to expect at the festival
This year’s festival features live music from the Kenny Raye Band, a rotating lineup of food trucks, and craft vendors set up around the field. Families have plenty to keep the kids busy, with children’s games, a bounce house, a slide, and an obstacle course. On the tasting side, the event pours craft beer and wine, so there is something for everyone, whether you come to sample a flight or just to eat and listen to the band. If you want to build a fuller weekend of local beer around it, our guide to the best breweries in Morris County is a good place to start.
Tickets and admission
General admission is $10, and children 10 and under get in free. Two upgrades add tastings. The Brewfest Experience is $50 in advance, or $60 at the gate, and includes general admission, all of the event activities, the live band, and unlimited beer and wine. The Mini Brewfest Experience is $25 in advance, or $30 at the gate, and comes with four beer or wine tokens. Food from the trucks is sold separately. Tickets are available on the Hanover Township PBA Local 128 event page.
Getting there
The festival runs from noon to 6 p.m. at Bee Meadow Park, Brickyard Field, 111 Reynolds Avenue in Whippany, with parking on site. It is the same field that hosts Hanover Township’s free summer concert series earlier in the season. If you enjoy this kind of local fundraiser, the neighboring East Hanover PBA Food Truck Festival runs a similar community day in June.
