The Belgian Beer Garden returns to PAC Jing’an this October for two weekends of world-class brews, live music, and European festival vibes. Expect over a dozen Belgian breweries—from Chimay and Delirium to Stella Artois—alongside Belgian fries, waffles, chocolates, and hearty dishes. With DJs, bands, and cultural games, PAC’s 1,800 m² open-air plaza transforms into an authentic beer garden in the heart of Shanghai. Free entry.

Update: Due to storm damage, the event’s start time has been pushed back. Things will now kick off at 3pm on October 18.

For two vibrant weekends in October (Oct 17–19 & 24–26), PAC Jing’an hosts the Belgian Beer Garden, a large-scale open-air celebration of Belgian brewing culture. More than just a beer festival, it brings together world-famous Belgian breweries, authentic food stalls, and live entertainment in a European-style cultural gathering.

On tap are Belgian icons like Chimay, Delirium, Hoegaarden, Lindemans, Stella Artois, and Brugse Zot, alongside smaller craft names such as 12 Square Meters and Atrium. Expect fruit Lambics, golden blondes, Trappist ales, and bold specialty brews. Food partners will be serving Belgian fries, beef stew, waffles, burgers, and more.

Entertainment runs all weekend with European singers, DJs spinning sunset sets, and interactive “beer festival games” on stage—complete with prizes and plenty of crowd energy. PAC’s European-inspired plaza in the heart of Jing’an provides the perfect backdrop for this highlight, co-organized with the Benelux Chamber of Commerce and supported by the Consulate General of Belgium in Shanghai. Entrance is free, no ticket required.

A special beer package is also available online in advance: 60 RMB for 3 glasses of imported Belgian beers (regular on-site price: 40 RMB per glass / 120 RMB total). Packages are valid across both weekends, with no limit on the number of sets per person, but they will not be sold on-site. Sales close at midnight on Oct 16 for the first weekend, and midnight on Oct 23 for the second. Quantities are limited, non-refundable, and will not be restocked once sold out.
