Saturday’s line-up includes Sharp Dressed Men, Taila-Mae, Daniel Chapman and Sarah Widdup, with Night Patrol closing the evening.
A spokesperson for the Glusburn and Cross Hills Beer and Gin Festival said the event had become an important date in the Glusburn Institute calendar, bringing people together and raising funds to maintain the Grade II-listed community building.

Food will be available throughout the weekend from Dave’s Artisan Wood-Fired Pizza.
Leightons Estate Agency is sponsoring the festival, alongside businesses that have sponsored barrels and contributed to the event.

The spokesperson said: "The beer and gin festival has become a highlight in the calendar at Glusburn Institute.
"It’s about much more than just beer and gin – it’s a chance to bring people together, showcase some brilliant live music and create a great atmosphere in the building.
"We’re incredibly grateful to all the local businesses who support the festival through sponsorship, as well as all the volunteers who help make the weekend happen.
"Most importantly, the festival raises valuable funds for both Glusburn Institute and 1st Kildwick and Farnhill Scout Group.
"Both organisations play an important role in our local community, and the support people give simply by coming along and enjoying the weekend makes a genuine difference."
Advance ticket sales have been strong, and only a limited number of pre-booked tickets remain.
