This year’s Summerfest celebration will feature a festival within the festival.
The Fountain Valley Summer Suds Brew Fest, set for 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 23, will feature craft beer samplings offered by 20 to 30 beer vendors. The event also will include live music, food trucks and outdoor games and will be held on Field D at the Fountain Valley Sports Park.
General admission tickets are $35, which includes three hours of unlimited tastings, a commemorative tasting glass and a group photo. VIP tickets are $45 and will allow for entry to the festival one hour early, starting at noon.
The festival is for those 21 and older, and IDs will be checked.
Live music will be performed by Huntington Beach reggae band Cali Conscious and solo artist Devvlov; deejay Peter G also will play tunes.
The craft beer event is just another great addition to this year’s Summerfest, which runs from Thursday, June 21 through Sunday, June 24 at the Sports Park, 16400 Brookhurst St.
Summerfest has evolved over the years, but the basics remain the same: lots of food, fun, carnival rides, games, entertainment, and the Fountain Valley Classic Car & Truck Show.
This year, the festival includes a Friday night fireworks show.
Summerfest hours are 5 to 10 p.m. June 21; 5 to 11 p.m. June 22; 2 to 11 p.m. June 23; and 2 to 10 p.m. June 24. The 12th annual Classic Car & Truck Show starts at 7 a.m. Saturday.
Preview Night on Thursday, June 21 features $1 carnival rides and food trucks.
Unlimited ride wristbands are good for one full day — except Thursday. Each wristband is only good for one person. You can purchase an unlimited ride wristband at a discounted rate of $25 (good for Friday, Saturday or Sunday) and select a local nonprofit or school/athletic group as a fundraising beneficiary. The selected group will receive $4 for each wristband sold.
Unlimited ride wristbands will be available at the event for $30 at the carnival ticket booth anytime during event hours.
And mark your calendars for the day after Summerfest ends.
The Fountain Valley High School Football Boosters and the Michael Musso Memorial Fund will host the 13th annual “Moose Invitational” Golf Tournament on Monday, June 25 at Mile Square Golf Course.
The annual event helps raise money for the Fountain Valley High football program and the Michael Musso Memorial Fund.
Michael, a 2004 graduate of Fountain Valley High School, lost his life in a car accident July 29, 2005. Through this fundraiser, a scholarship is given to a four-year Baron football player each year.
Cost to play is $150 per golfer, which includes green fees, cart fees, practice range, door prizes, gift bags, a buffet lunch and the banquet dinner.
