The event is outside on beautiful Main Street in downtown Waterloo, IL. It's family friendly and there's lots of free parking around the festival. We have limited seating, so PLEASE bring a lawn chair and enjoy both days with us! We also have several great AirBnB's in the area if you want to stay in Waterloo! Grab your friends and make a weekend out of it!

There is no admission charge or tickets needed, we do ask that alcohol and drinks are purchased from our brewery. For the fastest service, please bring cash. While we absolutely love dogs, we ask that they stay home as there's a big crowd here. Wearing a dirndl or lederhosen is encouraged!

Can't wait to see you!
