SEPTEMBER FEATURED BREWER:
FERNSON BREWING CO.
“FernsonFest is a celebration of South Dakota,” said Fernson Brewing Co. marketing specialist Drew Helland.
After a two-year hiatus, FernsonFest will take over the outside of the brewery on the north side of Sioux Falls.
“We want to provide Fernson fans a fun event where they can celebrate South Dakotan beer, culture and entertainment,” said Helland.
Any guests can stop by to grab a drink from Fernson’s wide selection of craft beers and Skip Day Hard Seltzers. Local food trucks will also be available including Old Skool Jersey Rippers & Balls, and Fat Kid Filly’s.
“We’ve created an immersive experience inspired by our adventures from places like the Turner County Fair, your local farmers’ market and festivals of yesteryear,” said Helland. “We’ve got a lot of tricks up our sleeves, and there will be plenty of county fair-like fun.”
This being the fifth ever FernsonFest, Helland says that anticipation is rising as every year brings a better, more exciting event to the brewery.
“Spirits are always high at FernsonFest,” added Helland. “Our fans know how to relax and have a good time.”
Various musicians will play the event including local indie rock band We All Have Hooks for Hands, Sioux Falls supergroup Clover Fold, and live radio show covering gardening and rock ‘n’ roll Rock Garden Tour.
Though he says there are many reasons to be excited about the festival, Helland can’t wait to relax.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to unplug, hang outside and meet new people. Tasty beer, delicious food, rock ‘n’ roll and dancing is the perfect way to spend a day.”
