Brew Fest at Cultural Park set for Saturday
An annual event filled with live entertainment, good eats, and a myriad of selections from breweries across the Sunshine State takes place this weekend in Cape Coral.
The third annual Brew Fest at Cultural Park is set for March 15 from 1 to 5 p.m., and is put on by the Cape Coral Museum of History. Attendees can sample beers, seltzers, ciders and more from participating breweries as many times as they wish, taste treats from various food trucks, shop local vendor booths, and enjoy live music from area performers.
“Each year the event has gotten a bit bigger and better,” said Janel Trull, Cape Coral Museum of History executive director. “We’ve even got several groups who have bought tickets every year, so we are definitely building a fan base.
“We hope that attendees spend the day engaging with others from our community, viewing fabulous cars, dancing to great music, and trying foods from a variety of food trucks. Step outside your comfort zone and try throwing axes with Chuck-It-Axes, or play a game of corn hole with friends.”
There will be 12 breweries present at the event, with a myriad of beverages available for sampling. Featured breweries, many of which are providing three to four different drinks, include: Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC), Motorworks, Riptide, Scotty’s Bierwerks, Bone Hook, Funky Buddha, Florida Avenue, Kona, Ankrolab, 3 Daughters, and more.
Tasting cups give attendees access to sample as much as they want, as many times as they want throughout the event. Attendees will have the chance to check out a plethora of classic cars while they sip and stroll.
Live music throughout the day provided by “A Moment in Time,” “Deena da Singer,” and the Danny Masters Band.
Food Trucks include Beach Bum Johnny’s, Ex-Squids-It Eats, The Schnitzels, Loud Italian Pizza, Next Champions Latin Food, Whooopsieee on Wheels, Uastar Fruit Juices, and more.
“Vendors span everything from local businesses and nonprofits, to kid entrepreneurs and local crafters,” Trull added.
General admission tickets are $35 and include a tasting cup. VIP tickets are $65 (while they last) and include a tasting cup, guaranteed seating under the VIP tent, snacks, access to a VIP-only beer section, and 10 free throws with Chuck-It Axes. All proceeds of the event benefit the Cape Coral Museum of History and its mission and programming.
The Classic Car Fest, food trucks, and vendor village are all available to the general public without purchasing tickets. Tastings are only available to ticket holders (21+, ID checked at entry gate).
