No music festival is complete without drinks, and Baltimore's own Union Craft Brewing is up to the task. Not only will they be the festival's official beer, but they're also unveiling a branded beer exclusive to the festival! Foodies everywhere will love the diverse spread of local restaurants like Bark BBQ, Asian Taste, Deddle's Mini Donuts, and others. Kids can bond with animals from the Irvine Nature Center or watch jam sessions with local artists. And if that's not enough entertainment for you, there will even be after-parties on Friday and Saturday night at the 8x10 featuring more bluegrass music and live entertainment. Festival-goers will really be getting their money's worth!
