Forks, Corks & Kegs Festival

April 10 – 11

If you’re all about big flavor, bold pours, and the kind of energy you only find in Deadwood, the annual Forks, Corks & Kegs is your weekend. April 10–11, 2026, the entire town turns into a culinary playground packed with chef-crafted bites, top-tier wine and beer from across the country, and nonstop tasting adventures at every stop.

When you stay with Cadillac Jack’s® Gaming Resort, you keep the party going your way. Choose from three hotels, fuel up at four dining options, grab a pick-me-up at our Made Market Proudly Serving Starbucks®, and hit our 24/7 gaming floor loaded with table games, a BetMGM Sportsbook, and 200+ slot machines.

GET TICKETS HERE!

Each venue serves up its signature dish paired with the perfect sip. Then it all builds to the Grand Tasting: dozens of wineries, breweries, and specialty vendors in one spot, with light hors d’oeuvres and your commemorative glass. Limited tickets. Must be 21.
