Peabody Chamber's Beer Garden Coming to International Festival

PEABODY, MA – This year's International Festival will feature a special beer garden hosted by the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce.

Have a cold one during the festival in the parking lot of North Shore Bank on Main Street from 12 to 6 p.m. to compliment the tasty cuisine being served along Main Street.

"The Chamber presented us with the idea of a Beer Garden during this year’s Festival planning
process and we all agreed that it was definitely worth a try," said Mary Bellavance, co-Chair of
the International Festival Committee, in an announcement. "North Shore Bank was gracious enough to offer us a spot for the beer garden and we are really excited about this new addition."

There will be a per person beer limit and IDs will be checked at the entrance of the North Shore Bank lot. Those under the age of 21 will be restricted from entering the beer garden.

“Beer tents or gardens have become a main stay of festivals around the country in particular with the popularity of craft beer,” commented Deanne Healey, President & CEO of the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce. “Several years ago we learned the Chamber used to host a beer garden at the festival and we have been looking at ways to bring this feature back. We think it is a nice addition and just another way to ensure the International Festival remains competitive in its offerings in order to attract people to the event.”

This year's International Festival will take place Sun., Sep. 11 from 12 to 6 p.m.
