This is one of my favorite festivals in Charlotte. The combination of Beer and Bourbon is great! There are also a few other liquor vendors that add to the nice mix. The lines are just long enough that you have time to sip your beer as you wait.
Symphany Park is the perfect location with the stage, lake and plenty of shade for the warmer times. The parking at South Park mall allows for adequate and safe parking for such a large event.
You do have to pay for the food but Mac's speedshop always has a Food Truck out and their BBQ is the best in town!
