This year’s event features 2 sessions: 12:00-2:00pm and 3:00-5:00pm  Tickets are $35 and $10 for designated drivers and children over 5 years old.  Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting powderkegbeerfest.com.  While event organizers expect the event to sell out before the Festival, any remaining tickets will be sold the day of the event online and at the gate for $45.

In celebration of the Festival’s 10th anniversary, ticket purchasers can also enter a raffle to win two lifetime tickets to Powder Keg Beer & Chili Festival as well as purchase a 10th anniversary commemorative pint glass and vintage merchandise from previous events. 

“The Powder Keg Beer and Chili Festival is a great opportunity for the community,” according to Jennifer Wheeler, President of the Exeter Area Chamber of Commerce.  “When people come to Exeter for the festival, they stay and enjoy the shopping, restaurants, and all that we have to offer here.”  

“We’re excited to have chili back,” said Greg Bisson, Director of the Exeter Parks & Recreation Department. “It’ll be a great day and we’re looking forward to having two full sessions.”
