Parks Ale Trail

Join us on Saturday, September 20, from 11 am to 3 pm, 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 on the main stage, craft beer stations, and regional food trucks. Kids can enjoy live entertainment and tree climbing.

Enjoy a scenic 2.5-mile round-trip hike to soak in the beautiful sights and sounds of Lake Needwood. Take a refreshing break at the mid-hike beer garden located at the Needwood Mansion parking lot. Grab a cold drink or tasty snack and listen to live acoustic music before continuing your adventure.

For more information about this event, check out the Parks Ale Trail webpage.
