Parks Ale Trail - Montgomery Parks

Prost and Welcome

Join us this fall for our annual Parks Ale Trail, featuring live music, local craft beer, food, and hiking. Parks Ale Trail has something for everyone! The main festival area features live music at the main stage, beer stations, and regional food trucks. Kids can enjoy live entertainment and tree climbing.

You can head out on a 2.5-mile roundtrip hike and take in the beautiful sights and sounds of Lake Needwood. Take a break at the mid-way beer garden at the Needwood Mansion parking lot to wet your whistle at another beer garden, grab a snack, and listen to live acoustic music. And back in the main festival area, don’t forget to snag a Parks Ale Trail coozie before you leave!

Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
