See everyone Sunday!
Summer is about to officially tap in, Park Ridge and it's looking like a brew-tiful season!
Join your friends and neighbors on Sunday, May 24 for our Annual Craft Beer Festival as Memorial Day Weekend kicks open the door to summer. Great craft beer, delicious food, outstanding live music, and an afternoon filled with friends, laughter, and community spirit — it does not get much better than that.
Whether you are a craft beer connoisseur or just someone looking to “lager” around with good company, this event has something for everyone. Come out and enjoy great food vendors, live entertainment, and the kind of atmosphere that reminds us why summer in Park Ridge is so special.
Memorial Day Weekend has always felt like the unofficial start of summer, and there is no better way to celebrate than gathering together as a community.
So grab your friends, dust off the sunglasses, and come raise a glass with us as we all toast to summer, community, great music, great food, and another great tradition in Park Ridge.
Cheers!
