WHAT IS BREWFEST?
The BrewFest is an annual fundraiser to support the sustainability initiatives of the Horner Park Advisory Council - basically keeping things lean and green on the North Side. The previous year's goal was to raise sufficient funds to treat and preserve 79 critically endangered ash trees. Horner Park is the only remaining city park with a grove of healthy ash trees. Over 25,000 ash have been cut down and removed from the rest of the park system because of the Emerald Ash Borer infestation. Because of the generosity of our sponsors and patrons, sufficient funds were raised in 2022 to treat and protect these trees for the next few years.
Our 2025 Sustainability Goal is to further Horner Park's credentials as an internationally accredited mini-arboretum with an on-line catalog and map of the 1000+ trees and shrubs that reside there. Horner is the home of over 100 distinct species of which many are critically endangered. More details to follow.
So join us for four hours of cold craft beer and cider from over thirty of Chicago's best local breweries on a warm summer night under the trees in beautiful Horner Park. But wait, there's more... Local food trucks will line the park, plus live music from Bumpus – one of Chicago's great cover bands.
Tickets are $50 per person, which includes: Admission to the event, a tasting glass and samples from every attending brewery. That's over 80 varieties of beer from which to choose. Participants must be at least 21 years old. We also offer a reduced rate of $15 for non-drinking, designated drivers. A limited number of tickets may be available at the door to cover cancellations. Same-day prices are $60 for general admission and $20 for designated drivers.
Horner BrewFest is part of HornerFest. Event is Rain or Shine. Must be 21 years old to enter. Sorry, no pets,
strollers, nor children allowed. Please drink responsibly.
