Thread City Hop Fest
Jillson Field is reserved, the brewers are signing up and the food trucks are getting on board! Now all we need is YOU! Please Join us to celebrate 11 years of good cheer and beer at the 2026 Thread City Hop Fest on Sunday May 17th from 1:00p.m-5:00pm in Willimantic, CT.
Thread City Hop Fest is a fundraiser organized by the Willimantic Brewing Company under the fiscal umbrella of Willimantic Renaissance Inc. Hop Fest donates 100% of its profits to local organizations that provide aid services, resource training and cultural enrichment to the local community. With your participation we have been able to donate $338,000 over the past 10 festivals.
What could be better? A fund raiser and the biggest outdoor party of the year featuring 60+ breweries, cideries, meaderies, wineries and distilleries. The field provides plenty of wide-open space for sampling with your thirsty pals while you play corn hole, grab a tasty lunch at one of the procured food trucks, peruse the grass roots vendor tents or just chill on the grass and listen to some DJ provided favorite tunes. Whatever your preference, we are just glad that you’re up for joining us again for what promises to be a full on celebratory and lively affair. This is our 11th annual Hop Fest so get your tickets today for Sunday, May 17th from 1 - 5 pm in Willimantic!
Tickets are limited and subject to selling out so don’t delay! See you on the field!
