BEERICANA IS BAAAAAACK! Holly Springs...

Holly Springs, North Carolina Hosts Beericana 2021

The beginning of September is just around the corner and that means a few things are getting ready to occur here in the greater Raleigh area.  Unlike what we experienced in 2020, kids are physically headed back to school,  weekends will be dominated by Football on the TV, and the 7th Annual Beericana Craft Beer and Music Festival is on the calendar.  

    Beericana is exactly what you think it is based on the name….a festival that brings together the best of North Carolina craft breweries (and beyond) and marries them up for the day with fantastic food truck options and live music entertainment.  When Beericana started in 2014, over 20 breweries were on hand to offer tasty selections to over 2500 attendees.  This year, organizers are expecting close to 5000 people to show up at Sugg Farm Park in Holly Springs and will have almost 50 craft breweries from around the country showing off their best brews. Local favorites that will be on hand include Aviator Brewing Company, LoneRider Beer, Mason Jar Lager Company, Vicious Fishes Brewery, and Fainting Goat Brewing Co.  to name a few.

    Although Beericana has a focus on the beer and breweries, it isn’t the only sustenance offered that day..., there will also be a variety of food trucks from around the area to keep your taste buds jumping.  The slate of trucks planning to attend has not been set yet but those that have attended in the past have included  Cousin's Maine Lobster, American Meltdown Gourmet Melts, and Fuzzy’s Empanadas as examples.   No matter what your food preference or your beer choice, there will be something available to tempt your palate and match with your beer choice.

    Beericana is an afternoon event happening on Saturday October 9th  from 12:00 noon to 5:00pm.  All parking for the event is on site and free of charge.  Please be sure to bring a valid photo ID along with your printed ticket.  You are allowed to bring a blanket or folding chair, umbrella and bottled water.  You may also want to consider bringing an empty shopping bag for the items you pick up at the different breweries or any purchased items.
