The inaugural Brewsboro Fest has been scheduled for 2 - 7PM on Saturday, October 8 at The Avenue Murfreesboro.

 

The event is expecting a sell-out crowd of 2,500. A portion of the ticket sales will go to benefit United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties.

 

Meagan Flippin, director of Marketing and Special Events at United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties, said it’s a wonderful opportunity for the community.

 

“This event will be unique to the Murfreesboro area and will be a quality event, which will be able to make a positive impact in Murfreesboro,” Flippin said.

 

“Our organization was looking for a unique opportunity to offer a new charitable event to the community, and coincidently our board chair crossed paths with the staff responsible for the MAFIAoZA’S Music City Brewer’s Festival and everything grew from there,” Flippin added. “We’re thrilled to be able to partner with several other companies and organizations to present this new, fun event targeted at young professionals, while helping the United Way.”

 

Event Director Candace Price said she has hope Brewsboro will grow like the MAFIAoZA’S event has over the past few years.

 

“We are very excited to announce the arrival of Brewsboro in Murfreesboro. It’s a fast growing market and we think it’s about time Murfreesboro had its own craft beer festival,” Price said.

 

Attendees will be able to sample brews from local, regional, national and imported breweries in their souvenir mug.

 

Middle Tennessee breweries such as Blackstone, Yazoo, Calf Killer and Jackalope, plus some 30-plus breweries represented, will be on hand to showcase their craft brews.

 

Attendees will be able to purchase food from local restaurants: Jim 'N Nick's, Puleo's Grille, Boutique Burger Bar, Chili's, Chop House, and Shermie's Catering.

 

Live music begins at 2PM with Mize and The Drive, a Funk/Indie/Southern Rock band, which will be on stage until 4:30PM. Band members include: Lee Ramsey on lead vocals and guitar; Dan Jarnagin on drums; Ben Wencil on guitar and vocals; Cody Malak on lead guitar and vocals; Alex Stevenson on saxophone; and Les Greer on bass.

 

Überphonics, beginning directly after Mize and The Drive, is a “Junk-Jazz” and Jam Band made up of Matt Jaggers on guitar, Carl Roberts III on Drums and Jeff Collett on Bass and will play until the conclusion of the event at 7 p.m.

 

Free parking will be available at The Avenue Murfreesboro near the Belk store.

 

Attendees will have multiple ticket-buying options.
