This year's festival attracted a total of 6.36 million visitors, who enjoyed over 2,800 metric tons of beer and more than 500 cultural performances. The vibrant event created unforgettable memories for both locals and tourists.

As a prominent showcase for Qingdao's international engagement, this year's festival reached new heights. The expanded range of activities, coupled with an enhanced atmosphere, significantly elevated the overall quality, brand impact, and experience. Qingdao's reputation as "China's Beer Capital" and Qingdao West Coast New Area's image as the "Beer City" were further reinforced.

Following the beer festival, the Golden Beach Beer City will continue to leverage its status as a national-level tourism and leisure district to create new tourism experiences. While some beer tents will temporarily halt operations, other attractions will remain active, such as children's roller skating competitions, exhibitions on culture and tourism equipment, and Spring Festival lantern shows. These offerings will ensure a continued array of cultural and artistic activities for both residents and visitors.
