SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Organizers behind Heritage Sandy Springs Rhythm & Brews are gearing up to bring their outdoor, one-day music celebration to local residents.

The event is slated for Saturday, April 2, and will roll into town with a twist. The nonprofit organization unveiled what originally was a weeknight concert series in the summer of 2013.

This open-air, happy hour series invited a young and diverse audience to enjoy regional live music in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Rhythm & Brews presented four acts in a variety of musical genres with both up-and-coming and established artists whose origins are deeply rooted in the region. For four years, Heritage Sandy Springs also held a spring BeerFest.

This year, these two events will become one in the form of Rhythm & Brews: a community celebration of local bands and local beers.

“Heritage Sandy Springs is thrilled to present this new event,” said Sarah Poland, director of Marketing and Community Events at Heritage Sandy Springs. “We knew there was a continued desire from audiences to hear fresh, original music, and also to enjoy local craft beers. Rhythm & Brews not only celebrates the sips and sounds of the region, but also presents an opportunity for audiences, both young and not so young, to kick back and relax in a beautiful outdoor venue.”

Doors open at 1:00 p.m. with the music kicking off at 1:15 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase online.

Tickets for guests 21 and older are $25 in advance and $35 on the day of the event. Tickets include entry into the event, two complimentary brews and a souvenir cup.

Tickets for guests 13-20 (or designated drivers) are $15 in advance or $25 day-of and include entry into the event plus a souvenir cup. Children 12 and under are free with a paid adult.

A limited number of VIP passes are available for guests 21 and older ($55 advance/$65 day-of), and include air-conditioned VIP area and indoor restrooms, covered veranda overlooking entertainment stage, private bar access, five complimentary brews and a souvenir cup.

Attendees can purchase additional beverages from local breweries Red Hare, Jekyll, Monday Night Brewing and Cherry Street, whose on-site reps will be talking about their various products and offering promotional giveaways.

Specialty fare will be available via food trucks and local favorites; water will be provided free of charge. Atlanta Sport and Social Club will be on site with cornhole, giant Jenga, and more.

The event will be held at the Sandy Springs Society Entertainment Lawn, located on the corner of Sandy Springs Place and Blue Stone Road. Parking is available on Sandy Springs Place in designated lots, as well as at the Sandy Springs United Methodist Church’s activity center, located near the intersection of Sandy Springs Circle and Hilderbrand Drive.
