More than 50 Breweries, Cideries, Meaderies & Wineries
Featured at TC Summer Microbrew & Music Festival – August 26-27
Martin Sexton, Rebirth Brass Band, Euforquestra, That I Guy, Barrage, Ella Riot,
Grand Traverse Pipe & Drums and Jam Rek West African Drummers among musical headliners
(Traverse City, Mich) – Over 50 breweries – as well as a cider, mead and wine court – will offer up hundreds of samples of their products
August 26-27 at the 3rd Annual Traverse City Summer Microbrew & Music Festival on the historic lawn of the Village at Grand Traverse
Commons.
Once again, music is an integral part of the festival, with ongoing performers on the entertainment stage – including chart-topping folk
rocker Martin Sexton, Grammy-nominated New Orleans brass brand Rebirth Brass Brand and festival funk favorites Euforquestra,
among many others.
New to this year’s festival is a “Silent Disco Tent” – a party installation that has gained massive popularity at such acclaimed music
festivals as Bonnaroo and Glastonbury. The silent disco tent allows up to 200 festival-goers at a time to dance to music broadcast via a FM-
transmitter to wireless headphones worn by participants, giving the effect they’re dancing in silence. Popular local DJs and sponsoring
local music venues will trade off spinning music throughout the festival.
Proceeds from the festival benefit Munson cancer support units through the Munson Regional Healthcare Foundation and the CherryT
Ball Drop, which collects funds and donations for shelters every New Year’s Eve. In addition, 10% of every food vendor’s proceeds
throughout the festival are donated to a local charity or non-profit of their choice.
The festival runs Friday, August 26 from 5-10 p.m. with a “Pint Night”-themed evening with $3 pin specials from a variety of renowned
craft breweries. Headline performances include those by Martin Sexton, Euforquestra, Grand Traverse Pipes and Drums and Jam Rek
drummers. The silent disco tent will be open all night, and festival-goers can also visit the food and merchandise vending areas.
On Saturday, August 27, an expanded festival experience is offered from 4-10 p.m., with over 50 breweries and 200+ flavors of beer,
cider, mead and wine. With admission, each person receives a commemorative festival cup and five tokens, which each can be exchanged
for a 7-ounce sample. Additional $1 tasting tokens are available.
Live music from Rebirth Brass Band, Barrage, Euforquestra, Ella Riot, That 1 Guy, Grand Traverse Pipes and Drums and several more
acts will entertain throughout the day on Saturday. A variety of local food vendors and brew-friendly pub grub, an MSU Extensions
Educational Tent featuring workshops on beer-related topics, the festival’s popular Hop ‘N Brew tasting shack, the silent disco tent and
special partner activities and events are also planned.
