Northstar’s 6th Annual Beerfest + Bluegrass Festival on July 6th

It is time again for Beerfest & Bluegrass Festival at Northstar…one of the very best events at The Village. Happening this Saturday, July 6th from 3pm to 7pm, this event features live music from two of the nation’s top Bluegrass bands, and over 30 local and regional breweries on tap for tasting. There are also activities and treats for the kids so no one gets left out. Dogs, however, are not allowed in the beer garden area, so it it’s best to just leave them at home.

What’s even better about this year’s event? A portion of all tickets sales will be donated to the Truckee Trails Foundation. Learn more about the great things that this organization does to create and maintain commuting and recreation trails throughout the Truckee-Tahoe area by visiting www.truckeetrails.org.
