Heritage Foundation’s 6th annual Craft Beer Fest coming Saturday

The Elmhurst Heritage Foundation (EHF) has announced the 6th Annual Elmhurst Craft Beer Fest will take place Saturday, Sept. 18 from 1-6 p.m. on the grounds of the Elmhurst History Museum.       

This annual event is held to raise funds for the Elmhurst History Museum, including its family-friendly educational programs and museum exhibits.  Funds are also used for school field trips to the museum and the Churchville One-Room Schoolhouse. 

More day of fest details will be released as the event approaches.  Event policies are subject to change as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Changes may include, but are not limited to, schedule changes, revised fest procedures or potential postponement.

For the third year, Pints in Elmhurst will be event sponsor.  Brewers are being contacted and the dedicated sponsors will again have a chance to support the work of the Foundation on the museum’s behalf.  We expect brewers will expand their offerings to include seltzers and ciders along with their signature craft beers.    

In 2019, more than 700 people attended from 57 surrounding communities.  A record number of local businesses supported the Beer Fest and music was provided by Petty Cash and Moonshine Brothers, who are expected to perform again this year. 

The event has raised more than $100,000 to benefit the Elmhurst History Museum.
