Oregon Garden Brewfest Announces Beer & Music Lineup for Father’s Day Weekend
The 12th annual Oregon Garden Brewfest presented by Venti’s Café will take place June 17 through 19 at The Oregon Garden, located at 879 W Main St. in Silverton. Event hours are 3pm to 11pm Friday, Noon to 11pm Saturday, and Noon to 6pm Sunday.
The popular Willamette Valley festival will serve up 120 handcrafted beers, ciders and mead from 60 different breweries from across the nation. This year’s breweries and beer list can be found at http://www.oregongarden.org/brewfest-breweries/ (as well as at the bottom of this release).
The Brewfest is relocating from its traditional indoor setting out into the forest, where breweries will be set up in booths dotted throughout the woods underneath the warm glow of bistro lights. The move will allow guests to take better advantage of the summer weather while exploring the 80-acres of botanical gardens with beer in hand.
There will be live music on one stage under a tent in the forest, allowing guests to hear the music comfortably from a variety of locations. Friday’s schedule will feature Emilio Shivers from 5pm to 6pm, Will West & The Friendly Strangers from 6:15pm to 7:30pm, The Lonesome Billies from 7:45pm to 9pm, and Dead Wood Standing from 9:15pm to 11pm. Saturday’s lineup includes the Transcendental Brass Band from 5pm to 6pm, Left Coast Country from 6:15pm to 7:30pm, Water Tower from 7:45pm to 9pm and Sassparilla from 9:15pm to 11pm.
For the first time ever, minors will be welcome on Saturday from Noon to 5pm as well as all day on Sunday; on Father’s Day, there will be a kid’s craft area and root beer. 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.
Advance admission ranges from $15 for a one-day ticket to $30 for a three-day ticket to $55 for a VIP ticket; door prices increase by $5. All admission packages include a souvenir pint glass and a varying number of tasting tickets. In most instances, a full glass of beer costs four tickets, and a taster costs one; additional tasting tickets may be purchased for $1 a piece. Designated drivers pay $5, which includes a bottle of water, and minors pay $5; children ages four and under are free. Silverton residents receive a discount on Friday with proof of residency. Parking at The Oregon Garden is $5 per car; free shuttles are available from various locations in Silverton.
