This Saturday, Downtown Morgan City will once again come alive as the 8th Annual Basin Brew Fest returns on March 28, 2026 and one of the most anticipated VIP perks is making its comeback in a big way.
Festivalgoers who grab VIP access will get an early start from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM, and thanks to GJ Curbside, that hour just got even better. Inside the GJ VIP Tent near the stage, guests can enjoy Erik’s Epic Bloody Marys and refreshing screwdrivers—an exclusive treat that has quickly become a crowd favorite.
Known for its bold flavor and perfect balance of spice and savory, Erik’s Epic Bloody Mary has built a loyal following locally. Whether you’re kicking off your Brew Fest experience or just looking for the perfect brunch-style cocktail to set the tone, this is one stop you won’t want to miss.

What started as a craft beer gathering has evolved into one of the region’s most celebrated events. The Basin Brew Fest, presented by the Basin Cares Foundation, continues to highlight Louisiana culture, community, and connection.
After last year’s successful move beneath the Hwy 90 Bridge, attendees can expect:
General admission runs from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with breweries, vendors, and live entertainment creating an unforgettable afternoon in the heart of Morgan City.
Beyond the great beer and cocktails, Brew Fest serves a bigger purpose. Since its launch in 2017, the event has reinvested over $100,000 into Lawrence Park, helping fund improvements that benefit the entire community—from playground upgrades to historic preservation projects.
Every ticket purchased supports ongoing efforts to enhance local green spaces and strengthen community pride.
Whether you’re there for the craft beer, the live music, or that first unforgettable sip of Erik’s Epic Bloody Mary, Basin Brew Fest 2026 is shaping up to be another standout celebration of everything that makes Morgan City special.
PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY AND DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!
