The 2015 Roswell Beer Festival will return to the city’s historic town square later this month.

The third annual festival will be held from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28 at the corner of Atlanta Street and Marietta Highway.

This year’s festival will feature 250 craft and local beers, live music, a designated VIP area and food from some of Roswell’s finest restaurants. All proceeds will fund STAR House Foundation’s after-school programs and summer camp for disadvantaged children in north Fulton County.

“We are continuing to do our best to improve the quality and experience of our annual festival,” said Jeff Bridges, chair of the Roswell Beer Festival. “We are offering unique local and craft beers and our VIP package offers access to a selection of cask beers made especially for our event. Whether you are a beer aficionado or just looking to attend a great community event supporting a great cause, you won’t find another Beer Festival like ours in the metro area.”

Since 1993, STAR House Foundation has aspired to promote academic success and empower lifelong achievement for disadvantaged children in the Roswell area. Our programs emphasize academic accomplishment in a safe and nurturing environment where every student is given the opportunity to succeed. STAR House serves nearly 300 students from four schools: Mimosa Elementary, Esther Jackson Elementary, Elkins Pointe Middle and Roswell High schools.

“STAR House is grateful for the community support garnered by the Roswell Beer Festival,” added Monica Oliveira, executive director for STAR House Foundation. “This festival has become our largest annual fundraiser, providing STAR House with funds for our programs and giving us a unique opportunity to share our message with a broader community audience.”

Tickets for the Roswell Beer Festival are offered at a general admission price of $50 and a VIP price of $100. All ticket purchasers must be 21 years of age and show identification at the door prior to festival entry. Tickets are limited and we expect to sell out.
