October 19, 2026 · Geneva, IL The Fox Valley has a brand new winter beer festival on the calendar. The Geneva Park District hosts its very first Lights & Flights Craft Beer Fest on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at Peck Farm Park, 4038 Kaneville Road in Geneva, Illinois. Lights & Flights is part of Winter Wonder Lights, the park district's monthlong holiday celebration at Peck Farm Park. Guests will sip their way through craft beer tastings surrounded by holiday light displays, with food on hand to round out the evening. Every guest receives 15 sample pours plus a commemorative glass to take home. VIP ticket holders get in one hour early and also take home a commemorative pint glass. Designated driver tickets are offered too. General admission runs from 4 to 7 p.m., with VIP entry starting at 3 p.m. The festival is for ages 21 and over. The park district says the brewery lineup will be posted on the event page. A first-year fest, a farm park wrapped in holiday lights, and a flight of local craft beer make December 12 an easy pick for a winter Saturday in Geneva.
