The San Antonio Cigar Festival (SACF) is a multi-day cultural celebration highlighting cigars, spirits, food, music, arts, and community.
The San Antonio Cigar Festival was established in 2022 and is proud to enter its 4th year in 2026. Each year, attendance has grown as we’ve strengthened awareness of what this festival truly represents.
It’s not just about cigars—it’s about community. Our festival was created to:
Support small cigar retailers—many of which are veteran-owned, family-owned, and women-owned businesses.
Showcase cigar-friendly venues across San Antonio and the Hill Country where aficionados can gather and enjoy the culture.
Give back as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, raising funds to support education, veteran initiatives, cultural programs, and other community causes.
Over four days, the San Antonio Cigar Festival brings together retailers, cigar clubs, enthusiasts, and the wider community to celebrate, connect, and learn. Festival activities include:
Curated smoke sessions hosted at local cigar retailers.
Cocktail socials & networking events for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals.
Educational experiences such as cigar pairings, tastings, and Cigar 101.
The Main Event at Beethoven Beer Garden—our largest gathering, featuring cigar vendors, live music, food, and VIP activations.
Closing celebration highlighting San Antonio’s culture, food, and hospitality.
NEW!!!! In 2026, SACF will deliver a 4-day festival experience with expanded programming, an accessible ticket model for the community, premium VIP experiences, and a new “City Passport Program” designed to drive traffic to partner lounges, restaurants, and cultural sites.
We are proud to be San Antonio’s premier cigar festival, rooted in unity, culture, and purpose.
