Canton’s upcoming Brews, Brats and Bands has new location
Friends enjoy the festive atmosphere at last year’s Brews, Brats and Bands event.
On Saturday, Sept. 14, from 6-9 p.m., craft beer lovers and the 21-and-over crowd are invited to attend Canton’s Annual Brews, Brats, and Bands, at its new location this year at the Heritage Park Amphitheater, located behind the Canton Administration Building at
1150 S. Canton Center Road.
Preparations are well underway for this special event, which will be hosted by Canton Leisure Services and the Village Arts Factory.
Sponsors of this popular event include Schoolcraft College, Provision Senior Living Communities, and Beerfests.com.
“Any event involving drinking craft beers, eating brats, and listening to music with friends and family is bound to be a good time,” said Kevin Ryan, Village Arts Factory Program Director.
“It’s important to note that with construction taking place in our usual location of Preservation Park, we are temporarily relocating this popular fall event to Heritage Park, which is the only change to this annual event that will feature over 50 specialty beers, ciders, and seltzers in one location.”
Worthwhile cause
Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Village Arts Factory, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Canton that serves as a nexus for the arts, culture, music, and community engagement, as well as the Canton Cares Fund, which supports the Canton community by providing financial assistance to disaster relief, therapeutic recreation, youth, and senior programs.
Admission includes seven tasting tokens each good for beer, cider, or seltzer tasting samples, as well as two grilled brats with fixings (vegetarian option available), a snack from the pretzel necklace-making station, water, chili cook-off tastings, and a commemorative mug.
The tasty brats will be provided by Maraschinos Pub. Musical entertainment will be provided throughout the evening by Atomic Radio, who are billed as “Detroit’s Premier Cover Band.”
Tickets are $45 online at Beerfests.com (search Canton, MI) or at the door (cash only).
Pre-purchasing tix encouraged
Designated Driver tickets are also available for just $15. Pre-purchasing tickets are highly recommended, as there is a limited number of tickets available for purchase onsite at the event.
Additional beer-tasting tickets are available on-site for purchase; receive 4 additional tickets for just $5. Limited chairs and tables will be provided, so attendees are encouraged to bring their own folding chairs
