Tinley Park’s Brew & Vine Festival is set to return with a bigger tasting lineup on April 11, 2026.
The event is scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday at The Odyssey Venue, 19110 S. Ridgeland Ave. Organizers say the festival will again mix craft beverages, food vendors and live music in one afternoon.
When is the tinley park brew and vine festival in 2026
The festival will take place Saturday, April 11, 2026. Doors open at 4 p.m. at The Odyssey Venue in Tinley Park.
The Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce is promoting the event as an annual spring gathering for “craft beer lovers, wine enthusiasts, and foodies.” The chamber says the 2026 edition will include “an expanded lineup of beer, wine, and food vendors.”
That expansion matters for regulars who treat the event like a rolling introduction to new producers. A wider vendor list can mean more styles of beer, more types of wine and more options for people who want to pair samples with a full meal.
Where the festival is held and what to expect at the odyssey venue
The Odyssey Venue sits on Ridgeland Avenue near Tinley Park’s main commercial corridors. The address is 19110 S. Ridgeland Ave., Tinley Park, IL 60477.
Organizers describe an afternoon built around tasting stations, with attendees able to “stroll through” as they sample. The chamber also pitches the atmosphere as a community celebration, not just a tasting event.
For Tinley Park residents who have not been to The Odyssey, the venue regularly hosts large public events and private receptions. Its layout can accommodate vendor tables, food stations and a band setup in the same footprint.
What will be poured and served at brew and vine
The chamber says the festival brings together craft beer and wine, along with food vendors. The 2026 event will add more beer, wine and food choices than past years, according to the event listing.
Because the vendor roster can change as the date gets closer, attendees looking for the final lineup should check the event website at tinleyparkbrewandvine.com. The site is also where the chamber says it will post updates.
People planning to sample should also consider basic safety steps for alcohol events, including arranging a sober ride. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns that “buzzed driving is drunk driving,” and provides guidance on planning ahead at NHTSA’s drunk driving page.
The Brew & Vine format typically draws groups that want to split tastings and compare notes. That can also make food options more than an add-on, since many attendees pace their sampling with a meal.
Who is playing and why yacht rock is on the bill
Live entertainment will come from Afternoon Delight. Organizers call the group a “high-energy Yacht Rock band.”
The chamber says the band is known for crowd favorites from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The event listing says the set is meant to keep people “dancing throughout the event.”
Music choices can shape how long people stay on the floor and how they move through vendors. A familiar songbook also tends to pull in mixed-age groups, which can matter for an event marketed as both a tasting and a community night out.
How to buy tickets and what to check before you go
Tickets are on sale now through an online portal at tinleyparkbrewandvine.ticketspice.com. Organizers did not list ticket tiers or pricing in the event announcement.
Anyone buying tickets should read the purchase page for details on what admission includes, such as tasting quantities, souvenir glassware or food add-ons. That page is also where buyers can confirm check-in times and any age requirements.
Tinley Park’s spring event calendar has several other regional draws around the same period. For readers tracking how communities schedule festivals, arts events and fundraisers, a recent example is Student art fills UAM gallery ahead of March 29 awards.
Organizers encouraged attendees to watch for vendor information and updates as April approaches. The next major date on the calendar is Saturday, April 11, 2026, when the Brew & Vine Festival starts at 4 p.m. at The Odyssey Venue.
