Now in its fifth year, the Hops & Harvest Festival has quickly become a popular place to enjoy unlimited tastings of beer, wine and spirits while enjoying fresh local food and some of the area's best bands. Attendees will enjoy live entertainment by local favorites the Kelly Bell Band, DJ Chris Tharp and Miss Moon Rising. There will be scores of local breweries, wineries, distilleries, craft artisans and food vendors to explore, as well as a hammock lounge area and lawn games including Cornhole, Giant Jenga, Bear Pong and carnival style games.
The festival will take place from 12:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. on Saturday, October 2. There are three ticket options available for purchase: General Admission, Designated Driver and Youth.
