Key City Beer Festival

The Key City Beer Festival is a fundraiser for Dubuque Main Street, Ltd. (DMS; 501c3). DMS is the oldest continuously run urban Main Street program in the country. Our staff, board, and volunteers work hard to make downtown Dubuque a place where people want to explore, dream, and thrive. We are excited to bring this craft beer tasting to our community!
