Join us on the grounds of Gurnee American Legion, Post 771, for the 9th Annual Legions of Beer Craft Beer Festival. We will have over 50 different craft beers to choose from, representing 20+ Illinois breweries. Wine, and non-alcoholic beer will also be available.
What sets us apart from other craft beer festivals? In addition to having all of the beers, meads, and ciders at our festival provided exclusively by Illinois brewers, this event also raises money for veterans, their families, and the community. These funds have significantly impacted us in helping us to provide essential resources, assistance, and recognition for our veterans' invaluable service to our nation. Come on by, have some libations, and celebrate making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to our country. Proceeds goes to the Friends of the Gurnee American Legion (FOGAL). Donations go to help local veterans with homelessness, financial hardship and food insecurity.
