[The Food]
For quick eats, three local food trucks will be stationed at 3rd Ave. N. In addition to the food trucks, restaurants in the historic downtown district will be open, serving hungry festival goers. Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from 5 a.m. until festival clean-up, allowing beer lovers to walk to and from the 40 tasting stations throughout Downtown.
[Entertainment]
In addition to plenty of Irish cheer, the Public Square will be rockin’ all night long thanks to 60s and 70s tribute band, Boomerang. They will be performing classic rock hits and throwback favorites during the festival. Many shops along “America’s Favorite Main Street” will remain open, allowing event goers a break in between beer tastings.
