Craft Beer Festival Launches in Acworth Next Saturday

The Nov. 8 event in historic downtown will feature live music, good food, and tons of suds.

The City of Acworth, fresh off its Halloween JamBOOree and classic car cruise-in, is already gearing up for another festival which will occupy parts of historic downtown.

The first-ever Acworth Craft Beer Festival will kick off at 1 p.m. and run until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8 along Senator Russell Avenue in the heart of downtown. Tickets for the event cost $30 if purchased before Thursday, $35 if purchased after Thursday, and $45 at the gate. A ticket entitles you to a souvenir beer cup, samples of the beer, and live music. Food costs extra.

Speaking of beer, the Acworth Craft Beer Festival is expecting a turnout of well over 100 local, regional, and national craft breweries. Although the complete list won’t be ready until the week of the event, some of the breweries confirmed to be making appearances at the festival include Orpheus, Monk’s Mead, Goose Island, SweetWater, and Terrapin.
