Paris Drinks Fest is held in Lions Park in downtown Paris, Ontario. Paris is a beautiful and historic rural community just north of the 403. We are 30 minutes west of Hamilton, 1 hour east of London, 20 minutes south of Cambridge, and 10 minutes northwest of Brantford.

Paris Drinks Fest is a 19+ event. Only people with government issued photo ID proving they are 19+ will be allowed into Paris Drinks Fest during those sessions. The only exception is children 2 and under and they must either be carried by a parent or in their (small) stroller at all times.

We encourage attendees to walk, bike, or carpool to Paris Drinks Fest. There is limited parking available at Lions Park but there are free parking options throughout Paris.

Though we love animals, in consideration of other attendees we can't allow animals onsite aside from certified service animals.

We're looking for some lovely locals to help us make this the best weekend of the year. We'll feed you, offer you free entry to the session of your choice after volunteering a certain number of hours and will love you forever! Visit the “Volunteer” page for full details and to apply.

We've got food, drinks, glasses so you don't need to bring much! If you want to bring a blanket to sit under the trees on feel free to but we've got you covered for almost everything. No outside food or drink is permitted but please email us if you've got any food allergies that you think might be very difficult to accommodate!
