That sounds like it will be a really fun festival! It's amazing how many fantastic local brewers there are now, and sampling craft beers is great. Add some wonderful local blues music to the mix and it really will be a fabulous time.
Jessica - I am with the visitors bureau here in Fayetteville. I have attended this festival long before I started working at the bureau - so this is my non-Visitors Bureau opinon! It is SO FUN. I couldn't go last year because my daugther graduated HS the same weekend (how inconvenient! :) ) But the year before my DH and I purchased VIP tickets and it was well worth it. Great event - great atmosphere. I'm a huge advocate for this event! :)

I love North Carolina, and we usually drive there for a quick trip in the summer. We will have to keep this in mind. This looks like so much fun!
This is perfect for music lovers that enjoy drinking good beer. Come to think of it, it's a great way to enjoy music.
This sounds so fun! I've been to Raleigh several times, but never to Fayetteville. I think I would have a blast at Blues and Brews!
what a great idea, my family loves to drink beer while listening to music!
This would be a great idea to gather my siblings, cousins and their spouses to have a good time. Listening to music, drinking beer and having a good conversation with them is so much fun.
Looks like a fun event to go to, however I live so (very) far away from Fayetteville. I have a college bestie who lives in NC. I wold surely let her know about this.
'tis the season for festivals. A big hurrah for it too. I love warm weather so we get to go outside and celebrate life with friends and family. :)
I love this kind of place to hang-outs. I love drinking occasionally. It really looks good.
