Bonfires and Brews a Throwback to the Beautiful Basics

Find good friends, good food, and good brews at Peek N' Peak Resort's Bonfires & Brews Concert Series.

Saturday, June 23

On select Saturdays (and one Sunday) through October, somewhere in the highlands of Clymer, N.Y., a wisp of smoke will rise. What sort of message does this portend? Throughout time, beacon fires and smoke signals have been used to indicate everything from incoming threats to new popes. At Peek N' Peak Resort, however, it will rather unambiguously indicate the occurrence of the Bonfires & Brews Concert Series.

Each of the seven events will feature live music, free lawn games, drink and food specials, and a fully operational s'mores station at the Peak's Gazebo Grill. Enjoy the primal rite of communion around the beating of drums and open flames, with all the assurances of modern amenities like running water and electricity that the popular resort provides.

The series begins with Larseny on June 23 and continues with Whiskey for Three on June 30. The Peak didn't start the fire; it was always burning since our blood's been churning. Seasons turn; popes change. So we rely on the old standbys — the good friends, good food, and good brews that forge the sort of bonds that last a lifetime. — Matt Swanseger

5 p.m. // 1405 Olde Road, Clymer, N.Y. // Free admission  // Visit pknpk.com for full list of dates  and headliners
