For local craft beer lovers, the wait is almost over. Tickets are now on sale for the summer's big event: the 8th Annual Craft Brew Festival in Horner Park on Friday evening, July 17th. Sponsored by the Horner Park Advisory Council, The Horner Brew Fest is the largest of its kind on the northwest side of Chicago – this year featuring 40 local craft brewers, live music and an array of food trucks.
Held under the trees on the front lawn of beautiful Horner Park, it's the perfect opportunity to reconnect with friends and neighbors while enjoying live music and sampling the best local beers and ciders available. And it's all for a good cause. The BrewFest is a fundraiser to support the sustainability initiatives in Horner Park.
This year's proceeds will be used for the continued preservation of the park's 89 critically-endangered ash trees and Horner's certification as an internationally-accredited arboretum. Additional objectives are for improvements along the park's restored river front and natural areas.
