Saturday, July 28

The area's largest craft beer festival will return Saturday, July 28 to Liberty Park.

The 11th annual Beer on the Bay — brought to you by the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership and Erie Brewing Company — will feature dozens of local breweries and hundreds of craft beers, all available for tasting.

Two tasting sessions are planned — the first from noon to 3 p.m., and the second from 4 to 7 p.m. Both include live entertainment.

Limited parking is available at the entrance to Liberty Park. Guests can also park at the Park and Ride at Lincoln Avenue and West 12th Street and the Intermodal Transportation Center at East Second and Holland St. There will be a free shuttle service running every 15 minutes. The last pick up at Liberty Park will be 7:30 p.m.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The A.N.N.A. Shelter.

Food trucks will be present at the event.

No one under age 21 will be allowed to enter the festival. Dogs are not allowed. — Tracy Geibel
