The 21-and-up event features a beer garden with 30-plus craft brews and ciders from local breweries. Live music performances showcase the eclectic Northwest music scene with bands representing roots, indie-pop, neo-soul and funk.

Guests can bring a camp chair or blankets to sit back and enjoy the music, 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, a 67-acre 1879 family subsistence farm along the Green River in Auburn, 28728 GreenRiver Road SE.

Tickets are $20 at the gate, and includes taster mug and five tokens. Also, $10 designated driver admission available at the gate only
