Enjoy an incredible lineup of over 15 breweries, where you can explore a variety of craft beers available for purchase throughout the event.

In addition to the breweries, you’ll also have access to eight BBQ pitmasters serving up mouthwatering barbecue, local wineries, a spread of other local fare and sweet treats, over 30 retail vendors, and live music. Wander the gardens and explore the c. 1738 Great House’s top floor from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the Festival. Then head over to the car show to see the Victory 7 Mustang Car Club.
