Witchtoberfest Back for Round Three

Witchtoberfest is back for the third time, and this year, the event is being held at the Boys and Girls Club — the organization the event benefits.

The event will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 6 with a quick run at 4:30 p.m. for those interested, and beer will start to flow a 5 p.m. The festival closes at 9 p.m.

Sam Adams, Shipyard Brewing Co., Mayflower Brewing Co., Blue Hills Brewery, Tavern in the Square, Salem Beer Works, Salem Liquors, Narragansett, Cody Brewery and Ipswich Ale will be sharing their brews at the festival this year.

Patrick Sargent and Brian Cox, who first organized the event in 2010, are excited to invite festival-goers for an evening of "good beer, good music [and] good times."

In addition to great drink, food, company and live music, Witchtoberfest is also supporting a local cause — the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Salem. 

"I went there as a kid," Patrick Sargent said of the initial decision to support the organization last year. "That was one reason to donate...It's been in Salem a very long time and it's strictly donations-based.
