Festival Tips / What to Expect:

• Plan ahead for transportation – It is important to have a plan for how to get safely home from the Brewfest. Please arrange a designated driver! 
• Wear sunscreen – At an outdoor Brewfest, you know you’ll be standing in the sun at least a bit, so it’s important to protect your exposed skin with sunscreen. It’s also a good idea to bring a hat and/or sunglasses.
• Stay hydrated – Yes, beer is refreshing, but you need to make sure you’re getting enough water too. FREE water is included at both the Trail 5K & Brewfest at designated water locations thanks to our water sponsors! 
• Bring cash – It’s always faster and easier on our vendors if you bring cash! There will be an ATM on site for your convenience.
• Plan ahead- an idea of what breweries you want to hit first. Breweries bring a set amount of beer, so some styles may run out and not be available for the entirety of the festival. Plan ahead by making a mental or physical list of the beers you don’t want to miss to ensure you get to taste them!
• Don’t drink on an empty stomach – Food will be available for purchase from the food vendors. 

Please note that the brewery and cidery roster is subject to change/substitution.
