Hey good lookin‘
You know exactly who you are and what makes you happy: Glorious moments in the great outdoors, happy memories with friends and loved ones, and that satisfying crackle of a cold beer fizzing open on a hot September afternoon.
The problem is, getting all those things at the same time can be a trick: Coordinating schedules, finding an outdoor spot, and curating a delicious selection of craft beers—who has the time??
That’s why the Elgin Parks and Recreation Foundation does all the work for you:
Illinois Brews @ Bowes Creek Saturday, September 7, 2024 3 PM - VIP Sneak Peek Access; 4PM - 8PM - General Admission
The 13th annual Illinois Brews is sure to be fun and delicious, overflowing with dozens of delicious beer tastings, groovy music, and scrumptious snacks—all that’s missing is you. Join us for the beer tasting event of the season! General admission tickets will be available at the door at 4 PM (but they'll cost more, and we might sell out!!)
Saturday, September 7, 2024 3 p.m. - Early entrance for VIP ticket-holders 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. - General admission
Our goal is to raise $40,000 through sponsorships and ticket sales, and we invite you to partner with us to support local youth who are most in need. All monies raised go directly to providing access to recreational programs and services for Elgin children who otherwise could not participate.
