Rotary Beerfest to Feature Brews from Dozens of Makers
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The third annual Groundhog Craft Beerfest will take place Saturday, featuring samples from 26 local breweries and cideries, as well as food trucks and live music.
The four-hour event will begin at 5 p.m. in the parking lot of Stambaugh Auditorium, 1000 Fifth Ave., with the first hour open only to those who purchase VIP tickets.

The festival normally takes place in early February, on or near Groundhog Day, but was delayed this year – and moved outdoors – because of the pandemic.
