Kennett Brewfest: Saturday October 7th

Brewfest has been the longstanding biggest fundraiser for Kennett Collaborative, the non-profit that helps Kennett thrive, with all funds raised going towards community events and programming. “We are grateful for the Kennett Brewfest loyal attendees,” says Kennett Collaborative’s Executive Director, Daniel Embree. “Not many know that their ticket purchases go towards continuing our programs and events such as the weekly KSQ Farmers Market, Third Thursdays, Christmas in Kennett, and so much more. Come raise a glass with us on October 7th!”

Tickets are going fast and a sellout is expected... get yours now!
