Tales & Ales Brewfest

This all-ages fundraiser brings Northern California breweries, cideries, and wineries to the park alongside live music by AKAlive. Children receive complimentary root beer floats and can try hands-on activities in Mr. McGregor’s Garden. A raffle is also planned.

Food and nonalcoholic drinks will be sold by a scheduled group of local vendors and food trucks. Families may bring blankets and chairs, but outside food and beverages are prohibited. The mostly shaded park will also operate its misting cool zone during warm weather.

Alcohol is restricted to guests age 21 and older, with ID checks and wristbands at entry; drinks cannot leave the park. Smoking is prohibited. VIP admission begins at 4 p.m. and adds exclusive beer and wine samples, catered food, and evening access to the air-conditioned Story Center. Tickets are nonrefundable and nonexchangeable. Proceeds support educational programs and park improvements.
