Saluting our Veterans Craft Beer & BBQ Festival

Simply Southern Events of Lake Norman is working with Sons of the American Legion in Huntersville to raise funds and help them meet their goal for the new Veterans Memorial. Saluting our Veterans Craft Beer & BBQ Festival will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2015 from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. This family-friendly event will feature craft beer, BBQ, live music, vendors and a kids area. The proposed Veterans Memorial will feature six columns, each honroing a branch - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine - of U.S. Military service. Those markers will surround a granite globe rotating above a reflecting pond, a symbolic tribute to the global impact of American's veterans. We are thrilled to have some of our local craft brewers partner with us. Come out and enjoy a variety of beers from Bayne Brewing, D9 and OMB. The day of music will kick-off with a Patriotic Salute & Recognition of Armed Forces Service Branches performed by W.A. Hough High School Concert Band. Next up will be Tony Bailey & The Electric Rodeo Band. They play shows from the Carolina's to Nashville, Tennessee. Tony is a National Recording Artist and a regular at the Bluebird Cafe.
