The Brewers Association of Maryland, in collaboration with the Hops & Harvest Festival, is set to introduce Wanderland, a distinctive craft beverage festival on October 4, 2025, at Symphony Woods in Columbia, Maryland. This event promises a unique blend of artisanal goods, live music, and curated cocktails, creating an immersive woodland adventure that highlights Maryland's craft beverage scene.

Kelly Dudeck, Executive Director at the Brewers Association of Maryland, describes Wanderland as a celebration of exploration, designed to encourage attendees to engage deeply with the state's makers and culture. The festival will feature curated tastings from numerous Maryland craft producers, live performances by regional and national artists, and artisan vendors offering culinary pairings and hands-on experiences.

Wanderland is structured around themed "groves" that showcase the diverse flavors and cultures of Maryland's regions, alongside family-friendly activities and kid zones.
