3rd Annual Brew Fest at Amesbury Sports Park

Amesbury, MA – The Amesbury Sports Park will be hosting the 3rd Annual Brew Fest on Saturday, September 26, from 2:00 to 10:30 p.m. at its facility at 12 South Hunt Road.

The Brew Fest, sponsored by WXGR and Budweiser, will feature up to 100 beers (just $10 for 10 samples), barbecue, OGO and summer tubing rides, and music by Flush, Michael Bernier & The Uprising, Soul Robot, and 4 Pints on an outdoor stage.

We’re thrilled to be hosting some of the best local bands this year,” said Mary Carol Fowler, Executive Vice President at the Amesbury Sports Park, “and we’re excited to introduce summer tubing and the OGO to a larger audience.” The OGO (Outdoor Gravity Orb) is an 11 foot inflatable transparent sphere with another inflated sphere suspended inside it. Riders enter the orb and strap themselves into a harness, or enter the H2OGO with up to 3 people and 5 gallons of water and are pushed over the edge of a hill and tumble 800 feet down the grassy slope. OGO rides and summer tubing rides will be operating from 2 pm to 5 pm.

Admission for the event is $10 per person. Tickets are available online at www.amesburysportspark.net and at the Amesbury Sports Park, 12 South Hunt Road, Amesbury MA (978) 388-5788.
