Fremont Burger and Brew Fest — May 30, 2026

The Fremont Burger, Brew & Bourbon Festival is no longer set to go forward on Saturday, May 30, 2026, despite multiple event listings that had promoted a 10th annual edition in Downtown Fremont. The clearest current notice comes from the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, which posted that the 2026 festival had been canceled. Earlier listings on ticketing and event pages had advertised the event for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 30, with food, drinks, vendors and live entertainment. The conflicting trail of listings leaves the chamber’s cancellation notice as the most up-to-date public guidance. ### Did the festival get canceled or is it still happening? The Fremont Chamber of Commerce said the 2026 Burger, Brew & Bourbon Festival had been canceled in a notice posted on its event registration page. The chamber said the decision was “difficult but necessary” and described the festival as a long-running community event tied to local businesses, restaurants and residents. (fremontchamberofcommerceca.growthzoneapp.com) The chamber-affiliated festival site also carries the same cancellation language for the 2026 event. That page identifies the event as the “2026 Fremont Burger, Brew, & Bourbon Fest” and states that it has been canceled. ### What had been advertised before the cancellation notice appeared? Eventbrite and other event-listing pages had promoted the festival as the 10th annual Fremont Burger, Brew & Bourbon Fest on Saturday, May 30, 2026. (fremontchamberofcommerceca.growthzoneapp.com) Those listings said the event would run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and feature Bay Area breweries, distilleries, vendors and live entertainment. (burgerandbrewfest.com) A March 24 article published by Tri-City Voice, citing the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, said the festival would return on May 30 and described a lineup of burgers, craft brews, spirits and a “Burger Throwdown” cooking competition. That report also said applications to participate were open until April 1. ### Where was the festival supposed to take place? (eventbrite.com) Downtown Fremont was identified as the event location in multiple listings for the 2026 festival. Third-party event pages used “Downtown Fremont” as the venue label, while another ticketing page referenced Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont. A separate vendor application posted by California Artists referred to a “Burgers and Brew” event in Fremont on Capitol on May 30, 2026. (tricityvoice.com) That document appears to relate to vendor setup and not to a chamber-issued public event announcement, so it adds location detail but does not override the chamber’s cancellation notice. ### What kinds of activities had organizers and listings described? (allevents.in) The advertised program centered on burger sampling, craft beverages and live entertainment. Event pages said there would be no admission fee for the festival grounds, while food and drink sampling options were promoted separately through ticketing pages. (caartists.com) The chamber-backed festival site had described the event as a day of burgers, craft brews and live music, and said attendees could vote for Fremont’s best burger. Tri-City Voice also reported that vendors and a burger competition were part of the plan for the anniversary edition. ### Why are there still listings online? Third-party event pages often remain live after an organizer changes plans, and that appears to be the case here based on the current mix of pages. (eventbrite.com) The chamber’s own registration page now says the event is canceled, while Eventbrite, StayHappening and AllEvents still show the earlier promotional information. That is an inference from the sequence of public postings, not a stated explanation from the chamber. (burgerandbrewfest.com) ### Where should people check before making plans for May 30? The Fremont Chamber of Commerce pages are the most authoritative public source now available because they carry the cancellation notice. The chamber-linked festival website and the chamber registration page both show that update, while the broader California festival guide still lists statewide events without serving as the organizer’s final word on this one. (fremontchamberofcommerceca.growthzoneapp.com) Saturday, May 30, 2026 remains the date attached to the canceled event across the public listings, and the chamber’s event pages are the place to watch for any replacement announcement or future festival plans.
