Food Truck Festival Returning in 2024!

After an outstanding year in 2023 with all things craft, including the craft beer festival, food truck fest and makers market - we're doing it bigger in 2024! Not only will the beer festival return Friday for a "hoppy hour" from 4pm - 8:30pm, we'll be opening the makers market and food truck festival Friday as well!

We've also revamped our setup to bring the food truck festival directly next to the beer festival, creating even more connection for patrons and the general public, right on Wetmore Ave!

Overall attendance of the festival will be an estimated 7,000+ attendees (2,800 Beer Festival Attendance in 2023). The food truck festival will be free and open to the public and will surround the beer festival. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit food trucks and bring food back inside the gate.
