Attendees can also sign up for a free cornhole tournament for a chance to win growlers, gift cards to local breweries, and gift cards to the shops and restaurants in historic downtown Manassas. The tournament will begin at 1 p.m. so make sure you get there early to secure your spot.
This year’s festival has expanded to incorporate the most breweries we have ever had! Including local breweries, Heritage and BadWolf, all of our featured breweries are coming from Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and North Carolina. This might be the festival where you find your new favorite brew and start planning a trip to visit the brewery. If beer isn’t your favorite, both Bold Rock and Cobbler Mountain will be featuring their award winning ciders.
