For the Reporter

Enjoy cold brews and cool tunes at the sixth annual Hops & Crops Music and Beer Festival on Sept. 12 at historic Mary Olson Farm.

The 21-and-up event, which runs from noon to 6 p.m., features a beer garden with 30-plus craft brews and ciders from local breweries.

Reber Ranch is presenting the festival this year.

Live music performances showcase the eclectic Seattle music scene with bands representing roots, indie-pop, neo-soul and garage blues.

Guests can bring a camp chair or blankets to sit back and enjoy the music, peruse a craft and farmer’s marketplace, meet the farm’s animal residents, take a tour of the historic farmhouse, learn more about hops at the Hops Craze exhibit or try their hand at classic lawn games.

All proceeds from the event support educational programming at the farm.
