Bakersfield Event: Festival of Beers

By Lisa Ybarra

The Active 20-30 Club presents the 22nd Annual Festival of Beers. The event will be held in Bakersfield at Stramler Park on May third.

Event goers will receive a souvenir cup for sampling the beer. There are over 125 beers to sample from. Food from well-known Bakersfield restaurants will also be available.

Performers include, Crooked Folk, Meditated Assault, and Velorio. About 4,000 people attend this festival each year, and it raises over $80,000 for children’s charities in Kern County. Some of those charities include, Kern County Special Olympics, Boy and Girl Scouts, YMCA, and Youth Connection.

Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 at the gate. You must be 21 and over to attend.
