It's Time for a Cold One or 300

It's mid October and that can only mean one thing. It's time to sample a few cold ones at the annual Lighthouse Beer Festival. With over 100 breweries, 300 beers to sample, food vendors, and live music, this is definitely THE place to be this weekend in Wilmington. So, mark your social calendars for Saturday, October 20th from 1-5 and be prepared to drink a few brewskies for a great cause. And seriously, for only $35 a ticket, this is a true bargain because you can sample as many beers as you want. Click Here for ticket information.

This is the 11th year for the festival, and this year marks the 10th year The Carousel Center has been the recipient of the proceeds of this awesome event. The Carousel Center has been so fortunate to receive such amazing support from community partners and local businesses such as Lighthouse Beer and Wine. When Jason, the owner of Lighthouse Beer and Wine, was asked why he chose The Carousel Center to be the beneficiary of the proceeds from the event, he replied, "because it's a cause he believes in, they do good work, and it's a local organization run by committed individuals".

Jason has been so kind to organize this festival, so, we hope to see hundreds and hundreds of folks out there on Saturday taste testing beers from breweries all over the place. Who knows, you may even find a new favorite.
