Music, food and beer is always a winning combination for a summertime activity, and thankfully you don’t have to wait much longer with the return of the California Beer Festival and another jam-packed schedule of good eats and good brews.
Bands will play both days, including Funkranomicon, the Fire Dept Band, Pride & Joy, Unauthorized Rolling Stones, Petty Theft, and Foreverland. Saturday features a selection of more than 85 craft beers for the 21 and over, while Sunday will be a day for the whole family with a Hamburger & Hops Music Festival. If the selection of beers doesn’t fill you up, enjoy the host of vendors from Zameen to SK Wings, the Shark Bite and more.
Proceeds will benefit the Gen Giammanco Foundation for student athletes to pursue their scholastic and athletic goals in Santa Cruz County.
