Coming up this Saturday, April 16th, the Sacramento Artists Council, a non-profit organization working to keep art and music in local public schools, will host the fifth annual Sacramento Beer & Chili Festival at Roosevelt Park.
As a big fan of beer and chili myself, (okay, you got me, mostly it’s the beer but I’ll take a side of chili) I actually checked out this event back in 2014, and the announcement of the 2016 event has me dreaming about Watermelon Wheat paired with the chili from Blackbird….YUM.
What can you expect at the Sacramento Beer & Chili Festival this year? Well, in addition to a competitive chili cook-off and beer tastings from more than 20 local and regional brewers, you can also enjoy live music from local acts like The California Stars and The Bitter Diamonds. The festival is dog-friendly and bike parking will be available.
Tickets for Sacramento Beer & Chili Festival are available for purchase online. And don’t wait – the price increases by $5 on the day of the event.
Cheers!
