Third-Annual Rhythm & Brews Returns April 7 (ICYMI)

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Sandy Springs will be able to get their groove one while enjoying the creations of local breweries when the third annual Rhythm & Brews comes to town.

Heritage Sandy Springs will host this celebration of local music acts and beer on Saturday, April 7. Sarah Poland, director of marketing and community events for the organization, said this year's event will be held on National Beer Day.

“We are excited to continue the tradition of shining a light on original artists whose music is deeply rooted in the South, while bringing exposure to craft breweries from all around metro Atlanta," she added. "Rhythm & Brews not only celebrates the sips and sounds of the region, but also presents an opportunity for everyone - both the young and the young at heart - to kick back and relax in a beautiful outdoor setting.”

Rhythm & Brews runs 2-8 p.m., and tickets are available online in advance for $25 per guest 21 and older or $35 on the day of the event. For those who are 13 to 20 years old — or a designated driver — you will be able to purchase tickets for $15 in advance or $25 at the gate. Children 12 and under are free with a paid adult.

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

Attendees can enjoy craft beer from Sandy Springs-based Pontoon Brewing as well as Red Hare Brewing Company of Marietta, Reformation Brewery of Woodstock, Jekyll Brewing of Alpharetta, and Urban Tree Cidery of Atlanta.

Food trucks and local favorites will be selling specialty fare, and complimentary water will be available for all guests. Atlanta Sport and Social Club will be on site with cornhole, giant Jenga, and activities. The Rhythm & Brews experience will be enhanced by local artists/vendors and giveaways. Here's the lineup of music acts slated to perform at the third-annual event:
