PumpkinFields Craft Beer & Music Festival Moving to Bay Shore

Long Island's largest pumpkin beer and cider festival will be returning this year, but will come with a few changes.

The popular Beerfields, now known as PumpkinFields, Craft Beer and Music Festival has moved from its original location at the Pennysaver Amphitheater in Farmingville, to Brightwaters Farms in Bay Shore. In addition, rather than taking place in the summer, the festival has been pushed to the fall this year.

“We were looking at a new venue, and we were talks with multiple places, with that, time passed and it looked like the event was going to happen in the fall this year," James Bonanno of The Tap Room, a Beerfields co-founder and organizer told GreaterPatchogue.com. “But we found this awesome venue in Bay Shore. It’s a farm and a hidden gem. There’s going to be pumpkins everywhere and it’s just the perfect venue for something like this.”

The event will take place on Sept. 24 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the farm located on 1624 Manatuck Boulevard.

The farm, which has been in existence since the 1600s, will have pumpkins and livestock.

Tickets can be purchased online for $45 with an extra fee of $3.07 or at one of the Tap Rooms located at 114 W. Main St. in Patchogue or 1010 Park Boulevard in Massapequa Park to skip the online fee. They will be $55 at the door if there are still tickets available.

Guests can enjoy beer and ciders from over 50 breweries in addition to performances by Groundswell, The Offshore Regulars, Bunktown Falls and Oogee Wawa.
