(D)rafts and (C)rafts, back for the third year, combines dozens of local craft breweries and artisan makers in the District's only small-scale producers festival. On Saturday, May 31st, 2025 1-6pm, join the DC Brewers’ Guild and the newly established DC Makers’ Guild in the DC Brau brewhouse & biergarten.

Grab unlimited tastes from 15+ local craft breweries while exploring products from 30+ locally made artisan goods businesses such as ceramicists, woodworkers, printmakers, jewelers, and more. Stop by the craft station to express your creativity, visit the Guild info booth to learn about their work & how to get involved, and grab a bite from local food trucks.

Why is this festival different from all the rest? Your friends and neighbors are the ones manufacturing the beverages you will drink and the goods you will support. Despite the growing number of manufacturing businesses in and around DC, many of which are affiliated with the Brewers’ and Makers’ Guilds, no other organizations exist to support small-scale manufacturers on the individual and collective levels. The Guilds, however, provide its members the tools and structure for both individual growth and positive systemic change.

Both Guilds work to unify independent producers, raise awareness and appreciation of the quality and diversity of their industries, and influence public policy decisions to create a business environment that allows them to continue to grow and flourish. Funds raised from this festival will allow the work to continue.
