Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
Maia Beer Market is a three-day outdoor event focused on craft beer culture, food and relaxed socialising in the open air. Previous editions (2025 and 2026) took place Friday to Sunday in late spring or early summer. Typical opening hours were: Friday from about 16:00 to 24:00, Saturday 12:00–24:00 and Sunday 12:00–22:00.
