What bands are playing and when? 

 

 

What’s the lay of the land?

 

Will your tap rooms be open as usual that day?     Nope – it’s all about the big event that day! Our Lee Hill tap room will be closed, and our Flatiron Park tap room will be open during the same hours of the fest (2-10 pm), but will operate like a part of the event (beer tickets, only fest beers available, no tasters, no growler fills).

Where will I park?     We will have signage directing guests to a few neighboring lots to accommodate parking. There is also street parking around Flatiron Park. We are expecting lots of attendees, so carpooling, riding bikes and taking ride shares is highly encouraged!

What happens if it rains?     We’ll get down any way… the event is rain or shine! Bands will do their best to perform under their covered stages during light rain when it’s safe and not too wet. We are bringing in a big tent for some shelter in the parking lot + our tap room space will be open.

Are dogs allowed?     Due to the nature and size of the event, dogs are NOT permitted. We love ‘em too, but please do not bring your four-legged friends or we will not be able to allow you to enter the festival. Service dogs will be permitted with proper paperwork only.

How will I buy beer?     Beer tickets! There will be a Beer Ticket Booth on your left upon entering the fest, as well as a Merch Booth tent that will  both sell Beer Tickets – both booths will accept cash or card. Redeem your beer tickets at any bar for a beer (no cash or credit cards will be handled at our bars). 1 ticket = $5. All beers = 1 ticket.
