Oregon Garden Brewfest Celebrates 12th Year on Father’s Day Weekend
Wednesday, March 30, 2016
Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift? Maybe for the mature child to give to the mature father, it is The 12th annual Oregon Garden Brewfest which is scheduled for June 17 through 19 – Father’s Day weekend – at Oregon Garden, located at 879 W Main St. in Silverton.
The Willamette Valley festival will feature 120 handcrafted beers, ciders and mead from 60 different breweries from across the nation. Event hours are 3pm to 11pm Friday, Noon to 11pm Saturday, and Noon to 6pm Sunday.
New this year, the Oregon Garden Brewfest will relocate from its traditional indoor setting out into the forest, where the participating breweries will be set up in booths dotted throughout the woods underneath the warm glow of bistro lights. There will be a number of cozy fire pits and covered areas available for people to gather with family and friends.
“We are so excited to bring Brewfest into the heart of the Garden,” exclaimed Brittney Hatteberg, regional marketing manager for The Oregon Garden. “Guests can take better advantage of the summer weather and
explore more of the Garden from this location. It will be a charming experience, and unlike any other beer festival in Oregon.”
Standing will headline the stage Friday night; additional acts will be announced online.
Fathers and Children
Also new this year, minors will be welcome on Saturday from Noon to 5pm and during all hours on Sunday; on Father's Day, there will be a kid's craft area as well. The new location is closer to the Children's Garden, allowing families to be near the festivities as well as close to entertainment for kids.
