Weko Beach Brewers Festival Oct. 2

From event PDF:
Weko Beach Brewers Festival is toasting to the coast this weekend! Michigan is home to great breweries and picturesque beaches.  Combining the best of both, the Bridgman Area Economic Growth Alliance invites you to a relaxing fall day on the beach to savor award-winning Michigan craft beers that are as spectacular as the sunsets. 


Live music will enhance the scene as you raise your beer mug and ‘toast the coast’ on Saturday, October 2nd from 3 pm to 9 pm EST, under a Big-Top Tent overlooking Weko Beach. The musical lineup includes Duke Tumatoe, Top Secret Band and Katzcratch.(Located at Exit 16 off I-94, then north on Red Arrow Highway.  Look for parking signage along Red Arrow in Bridgman).

The Weko Beach Brewers Festival is a showcase event to sample (tastes or by the mug) the locally-produced craft beers from Michigan. Wrap this into a day filled with sun and sand, cuisine from local restaurants, some live music, and you have one fantastic fall festival!

Admission to the festival is $25 at the door and includes a souvenir beer mug and 12 tasting tickets.  Beer Tickets are $1 per ticket--1 ticket for a taste, $2 for a half-pour, $4 for a full-pour--Cash Sales Only.


Parking and shuttle buses will be available at designated lots in Bridgman.  No coolers allowed.  Rain or shine event.
