16 FOR THE 17TH YEAR, SWIRCA Brewfest is offering attendees the unique opportunity to sample craft brews under the lights of a historic ballpark.

Guests can sample more than 300 craft beers, wines, and liquors along with food from more than 20 restaurants and food trucks. Live music and yards games will also be available to guests, and attendees (apart from designated drivers) will receive their own souvenir tasting glass to sample beverages in.

All proceeds from the event will go to SWIRCA & More, a nonprofit that works to help seniors and those living with disabilities remain living at their homes for as long as possible, while keeping them independent and active in the community.

“When people come out and support Brewfest, they support SWIRCA, but they’re also helping us to provide nearly 2,000 meals to seniors. They’re helping us build ramps for individuals and get essential needs and services to homebound seniors,” says Monica Spencer, development director at SWIRCA & More.

Advance tickets are $70 for VIP, $50 for SIP, and $35 for general admission. Night-of tickets are $80 for VIP, $60 for SIP, and $45 for general admission. Designated drivers can attend for $10. Ticketholders must be at least 21 years old and present a valid ID to attend. Spencer says SWIRCA hopes to raise a little over $100,000 at Brewfest.

SWIRCA is partnering with Logan’s Promise to offer free rides home for attendees and encourages patrons to take an Uber, Lyft, or cab to and from Brewfest if they anticipate indulging in alcohol.
